Evaluation

Attendance and Participation 5%
Homework and Projects 5%
Midterms (1+2) 50%
Final Exam 40%

Notes

  • Students must provide a valid email address for communications with the instructor.
  • Students should check the course web page periodically for important announcements.
  • Homework assignments are due one week after the date they are posted. One week late submission results in 50% score.
  • Absence from midterm exams will result in zero score unless an excuse approved by the Vice Dean is provided.

Academic Integrity

  • Homework assignments and projects must be done individually.
  • You may not share your code/answers with others (looking at code is a form of sharing).
  • Identical or nearly identical code/answers will result in zero score for all involved parties.
