Course Policy
- An assignment containing ~4 problems would be given ~weekly and submitted a day prior the upcoming class exercise.
- The assignments should be submitted ELECTRONICALLY.
- Submission of 8 of the home assignments is obligatory.
- For each missing assignment below 8 one point will be reduced from the final grade.
- For each extra assignment above 8 one point will be added to the final grade.
- Late or sloppy (that is, not a sufficient attempt) submissions WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
- You are required to report your performance. For each question of the assignment you should grade yourself according to the three options:
- A = I solved the question myself and got the correct answer.
B = I solved the question myself but made some mistakes.
C = I could not solve the problem myself and needed extra help to solve it.
- A = I solved the question myself and got the correct answer.
- Notice: these grades will only be used to follow your progress and will not affect your final grade.
FINAL GRADE = EXAM + (SUBMITTED-8)+BOUNUS POINTS
BOUNUS POINTS = 2(SUBMITTING 4 LAST ASSIGNMENTS)+2(SUBMITTING ALL ASSIGNMENTS)
