Homeworks and prelims will be rescaled to a common median and compensation will be
made for differences in TA grading.
Work load: We expect that a 50 percentile student (in background and ability) working
for a B- grade will spend an average of about 6 hours per week doing homework and
about two hours (averaged through the semester) on prelim and exam studying.
That is, the median out-of-class work load for the median student is expected to be
about 8 hours per week.
