GRADING


Attending lectures is essential for doing well on written exams. Lectures will specifically prepare students for the exams. There will be two tests, each covering roughly half of the material in the course.

Test 1 :  35% (2 hrs)    (50% open book, on March 2, 2012) 

Test 2 :  35% (2 hrs)    (50% open book, on April 20, 2012)

Project: 15% (Matlab/Octave/Mathematica, about 12 hours effort, Due March 23, 2012)

Research Project: 15 %  (reading papers/patents, evaluating technology, writing a 10  page report by a group of 4 students, and a  15 minute group  presentation, on May 4, 2012)

 

Matlab/Mathematica/Octave programming language should be learned for completing the project.  Project is not difficult and requires about 12 hours of effort.

 

Grades are assigned based on absolute percentage of total marks as below.
This policy is subject change.

A : 91—100 , A- : 86—90 , B+ : 81—85, B : 76—80, B- : 71--75
C+ : 68—70, C : 64—67, C- : 61—63, D+ : 56—60, D : 51—55, F : 0--50
