– two final exams: June & September
● Class attendance (awake):
– 10%
● Four (optional) assignments:
– 20% (borrows from 90% exam)
class 10%
Yes!
exam 90%
● This seems to total 120%
– It's only 100% (lab) assignments 20%
● Well, not really
– total = ( 90% exam+ 10% attendance)
– exam will be only 70% if you turn in the
assignments by their due time
– assignments have a pass/fail mark (1/0)
Mark= 9−

Academic Honesty
● Each individual is responsible for his or
her own work. Under no circumstances
should written or printed answers/code
be shared. Photo IDs may be required
for admission to exams.
● Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and
helping others to commit these acts are
all forms of academic dishonesty, and
they are wrong.
● Academic misconduct could result in
disciplinary action.
