Attendance: 5\%

Homework*: 20\%

Quizzes**: 15\%

Lab report***: 35\% 

Mid-Term Exam****: 10\%

Final Exam*****: 15\%

There will be 5 times of attendance checks.

*: There will be 10 homework assignments (every 1-2 weeks). The detailed assignment schedule can be seen at the course schedule provided above.

Each homework will be 2 points.

Homework must be submitted to the Blackboard according to the designated timeline. LATE HOMEWORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.  Your homework should be neat and with your full name on.

**: There will be 3 quizzes (every 2-3 weeks) in the beginning of the class. The detailed assignment schedule can be seen at the course schedule provided later.

Each quiz will be 5 points.

***: There will be 5 project assignments (each time gets 7 points). 
The report template is provided, see Blackboard.

****: Exam review will be provided and the schedule can be seen later. 

*****: Exam review (project and writing mixed) will be provided and the schedule can be seen later (probably December 6th).
