Grading


Grading will be based on three examinations, home works, 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 % effort).

The grade distribution is:

Item

  15.0% 

40.0%

  Midterms

Some home works in 381x will be dependent on laboratories in 382x and vice versa. Remember it is an integrated course sequence.

The project in 381x and 382x is common. The same grade is used in both courses. Thus, it affects your grade in both courses.
