Course Grading Policy : Your grade will be determined using the
following scheme:
| Projects (6) |
50% |
| Two Exams |
30% |
| Final Project |
20% |
Grades will be assigned on a curve; however,
I will guarantee the following grades if you reach the following percentages:
89% for an A, 79% for a B, 60% for a C, and 50% for a D. Rarely does the line for
a C or D move as a result of a curve; the curve for an A and B vary significantly
between classes.
Examinations: Relavent information for exams
- There will be two, closed book midterm examinations each of 50 minute
duration
- Typically three questions on each exam. Usually one question is fairly
easy, and one question is fairly challenging.
- Rules of exam: All resources are closed.
- Each exam is basically cumulative: Every unit builds on all the previous
units.
- Expect the unexpected: The exam will be over material covered in lectures
(primarily), handouts, and in the textbook, but I reserve the right to
make any / all problems not look like homework problems. I expect that
you get the intuition of the key concepts from the homework; in the exam,
I want to see if you can apply these concepts to slightly different problems.
- All grades become final one week after they are returned in class.
Exam Dates: (still subject to change)
