Grading Policy:
  • Homework/Project Assignments: 50% of semester grade.  Breakdown on projects page
  • Mid-term: 20% of semester grade

Notes on grading (please read):
  • The percentages are subject to change as circumstances dictate.
  • Since exams are the main indicators we have of individual grasp of the material, we reserve the right to adjust final letter grades based on exam performance.  In particular, students who do not achieve a passing average on the exams will not receive a passing grade in the class.
  • We will be following the EECS departmental policy on Academic Honesty, so be sure you are familiar with it.
