HOMEWORK (100 points):
Selected homework problems are assigned with each lecture, but

During the semester, there will be two exams worth 100 points
each. There will be no makeup exams given. The final exam counts
for 200 points.

90 - 100% = A, 80 - 89% = B, 70 - 79% = C, 60 - 69% = D, 0 -
59% = F.
Your course grade is based on a total of 700 points: 100 from
the homework, 200 from the projects, 200 from the exams during
the semester, and 200 from the final exam.
CLASS ATTENDANCE:
Students are expected to attend all class meetings. While the
lectures cover the same materials in the text book, additional

the topics you need to implement the projects.
