Grading is based on the 10 workbooks (50%), two projects (20%), and the exams (20%), and in-class quizzes (10%, lowest four dropped). We will consider dropped in-class quizzes/surveys to adjust your grade at the end. You can work on a research project approved and graded by a TA to replace the grade of 2 workbooks or 1 project or 1 exam you missed. Canvas cannot compute your grade for you. Read more…

Workbooks are the main assignments for class and the required reading. Understanding them is really important.

They serve as both programming assignments (your programs will be inside of the workbooks) and reading assignments (you are responsible for the content of the workbooks as well as the listed required readings in the workbooks).
