The final grading curve uses composite scores and will reflect a class average of \textit{B}. Regardless of the grading curve, a student with a compostite score of 90+ will be awarded an \textit{A} grade while a student with a composite score of less than 50 will be awarded an \textit{F} grade. \textit{In addition, in order to pass this course, a student's aggregate lab score (i.e. the sum of all laboratory assignment scores) must be at least 50\%.}}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{HW assignments and laboratory reports must be uploaded to \textbf{``Blackboard''} by the posted deadline. Late assignments/reports will be assessed a 10\% penalty per day, up to the cut-off date (usually three days later). After the cut-off date, assignments/reports WILL NOT be accepted. You may turn in incomplete work to receive partial credit.
 
You may work in groups and discuss your general solution approaches with others. However, you may not show each other your written solutions or share the details of your work. Code sharing is forbidden.
 
No laboratory sessions will be held for the first two weeks of the semester. Be sure to maintain a working Linux partition on your laptop with functional \textit{C} and  \textit{C++} compilers (i.e. gcc \& g++). And do backup your work - your grade depends on it!}
\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{A roll call will not be taken at the start of each class. However, you are expected to attend ALL classes unless officially excused. Since examination questions will be based on the material taught in class and the prescribed reading from the course textbook, missing classes will put you at a severe disadvantage. So, attend all classes, and be sure to take notes attentively.}
\newcommand\ElectronicsPolicy{\textcolor{red}{Since you opted for a customize electronics policy, you should edit this part. Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then ypu should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).)}}
