Course Structure and Grading Policies

Homework problems will be assigned at the end of each lecture. However, they will not be collected and graded. Your final score for the course will be computed as follows:
  • Computer Labs: 15% of the course grade.

  • Quizzes: 20% of the course grade. Only the 10 best scores are counted.
    A ten-minute quiz will be given during the problem session. There will be no make-up quizzes, since only the best 10 grades count towards the course grade.
  • Midterms: each test counts 15%, for a total of 45% of the course grade.
    There will be three in-class midterm exams scheduled as follows:
