Homework
Midterm Exam
The midterm will consist of a problem set, similar to HW1-3 and some general questions about concepts discussed in the class. The midterm is a closed-book exam.
Final
Grading
All work will be graded on a point scale from 0-100.
The final course grade will be computed as follows:
Total Point = 40% Homework + 60% Mini-Projects
where the lowest homework grade does not contribute to the Homework average, that is:
Homework = ∑i∈S hi/(N-1),
where
S = {1,...,N} \ ijoker, with ijoker = arg mini hi, and hi is the grade for homework i=1,...,N, N=6.
Total Point will then be converted to a letter grade
| Total Points | Letter |
| 93–100 | A |
| 88–92 | A- |
| 85–87 | B+ |
| 82–84 | B |
| 78–81 | B- |
| 75–77 | C+ |
| 72–74 | C |
| 68–71 | C- |
| 65–67 | D+ |
| 62–64 | D |
| 60–61 | D- |
| 0–59 | F |
