Grading


Grading will be based on three examinations, homeworks, laboratory exercises, and one final project.

Home works are to be done in groups of two. No other group structure will be allowed (if the class size is even). Try to form a group where you have an opportunity to learn from each other or at least one person can learn from the other.

Taking turns to do home works is not allowed. It has to be a joint effort each time. Both partners should mention their effort level, totaling to 100% on each submission. If effort percentage is not mentioned, we will assume no body put in any effort (in other word, both of you get a zero grade).

The grade distribution is:

Item

Percent in 381x

   Percent in 382x     

  Homework/Labs 

20.0%

50.0%

  Midterms

30.0%

 

Final Examination

25.0%

25.0%

  Projects

25.0%

25.0%

 

Some homeworks in 381x will be dependent on laboratories in 382x and vice versa. Project grade will be split between the two courses. Remember it is an integrated course sequence.
