An overall composite score (out of 100) is computed with the above weights. The final grading curve based on these composite scores 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.}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{HW assignments, the Design Project report and the Survey Paper 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. If you do use external sources as the basis of some of your work, you must credit the original author in your assignment and/or code comments. In the case of derived code, you must state the extent to which your derived code differs from the original code base.}
\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{Real-time class attendance is not required. However, you are expected to watch fully the recording of every class that you cannot attend in real-time. This is essential since examination questions will be based on the material taught in class in addition to the prescribed readings and assignments.}
\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 you 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).}}
