Grading

• 15%   Labs
• 15%   Design Project
• 5%   Weekly homework
• 10%   Quizzes
• 20%   Midterm (Thursday, May 5, in class)
• 35%   Final (Saturday, June 11, 4:00-6:00 PM)

Course Policies

Homework

All work must be done individually. On each homework, write your name, lab section number, and problem set number clearly at the top.

All homeworks are due Friday at 4:00 PM in Room 2131 and will be returned in your lab section after grading. Unfortunately, late homeworks cannot be accepted except for verifiable medical excuses approved by the instructor.

Each homework problem will be graded on a three-point scale: 0 (not a full effort), 1 (close but fundamental problem), and 2 (correct).

Quizzes, Midterm, and Final exam

Four announced quizzes will be given throughout the quarter. They are designed such that students that do required readings and listen in lecture will earn very high scores. Students that do not do required readings and do not listen in lecture will likely receive much lower scores. The lowest of the four scores will be dropped.

The midterm and final exam are mandatory components of this course. Unfortunately, no early or late exams are possible. If an unavoidable emergency prevents your attendance at the midterm or final, you will be required to submit written proof of the emergency and the make-up exam will likely be given as an oral exam with the instructor.
