Schedule
Two days/week. 1.5 hours/session.
Grade
Grade is made up of two quizzes (30% each), regular homework (20%), and the term project (20%). Quizzes are open book; there will be no final exam. Weekly homework is to be completed individually. Groups for the term project may be formed, but each student is expected to provide an individually prepared report.
