Homework assignments
- There will be 5 homework assignments, worth up to 20% of the final grade (see below).
- Assignments may have wet parts and dry parts. Wet parts will be submitted electronically only - make sure to save the confirmation code generated when submitting. Dry parts are not for submission.
- Home work submission must be done in pairs, You can use the "Find a Partner" section in the website for matchmaking.
- Homework assignments may be submitted up to 5 days late; assignments submitted before the deadline will receive a 5 points bonus (but the grade will be capped at 100), the first 3 days late will not incur a grade penalty; the next 2 days will incur a 20 points penalty (the highest grade possible is 80). Friday and Saturday together are considered 1 day. When submitting late mail the wet part directly to the TA responsible for the assignment, and put the dry part in that TA's mailbox.
- Postponement requests must be sent to the TA-in-charge (not to the TA responsible for the assignment) and will only be approved due to reserve duty (miluim) or in extreme cases.
Exam
The final exam will be with closed material.
Final grade
Homework equals up to 20% of the final grade (takef), unless the exam grade is less than 55 and then the exam grade will be the final grade. In other words:
Home Work Percentage = (hw grade - exam grade > 40) ? 0 : ((hw grade - exam grade < 20) ? 0.2 : 0.4-(hw grade - exam grade)/100)
Final grade = exam grade * (1 - hw Percentage) + hw grade * hw Percentage
