Students are expected to participate actively in classroom discussions, contribute to their group's project, assimilate the knowledge developed by other groups, and integrate their understanding of the diverse topics in the class.
Grades will be based on:
5% Classroom discussions
5% Weekly homework (will be graded only for timeliness and completeness, not detailed content due to the lack of a reader)
30% Group projects
10% In-class quizzes
25% Takehome midterm
25% Takehome final
In the following, grades are listed by a random sequence number. You were sent your sequence number by email, but if you are missing it, please request of the instructor.
Roughly speaking, 10=A+, 9=A, 8=A-, 7=B+, 6=B, 5=B- was the scale we used on this exam. However, the final class grades will be determined by a curve.
Note: Question four has double weighting in the average.
