Grading
Grades will be determined by a student's performance on a midterm (15%), individual written assignments
(25%), and a group project and assignments (60%). The project grades will be as a result of 1) individual presentations,
2) demos, 3) project write-ups. The class will not be graded on a curve.
Individual homework should be done independently. It is fine to discuss the general techniques and methods required,
but you must do your own work in solving the problems and writing up the solutions. After you turn in your individual
homework, you may use this information in the group, combined with others homework, to aid in the project redesigns.
Late Policy
There will be no allowance for late group presentations or assignments. We have a schedule to keep and the
rest of the class is depending on you to get your work done on time.
We will accept late individual homework assignments, but the grades will be reduced. The homework is due at
the start of class.
