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.
