There will be two tests given during the semester that comprise 60\% of your final grade.  25\% of your grade will be based on your performance on homework quizzes, laboratory reports and other assignments, and a final project (which will be worth 15\%).  Besides being a portion of your grade, I strongly urge you to do the homework and review the solutions when they are made available since these exercises are helpful in understanding microwave concepts.  Missing a homework quiz without a valid excuse approval will result in a zero for that quiz. Missing a quiz with excuse approval will not suffer a penalty. Any missed test with a valid excuse (see attendance policy) will make the other 40\% of the course grade increase accordingly.

Letter grade scale: A(93--100), A--(90--92), B+(87--89), B(83--86), B--(80--82), C+(77--79),\\
C(73--76), C--(70--72), D+(67--69), D(63--66), D--(60--62), F(<60)
