Grading:
Grading for the class will be performed on an individual basis. You will not be competing with the other students for your grade. If all students do well in the class, it is possible everyone will get an A. Your grade is only dependent on the effort you put into the class.
Letter grades will be assigned using a 10% scale: 90% and above is correspond to an A, 80% and above to a B, 70% and above to a C, 60% and above to a D, and less than 60% to an E.
The grading will be based on a weighted sum as follows:
65% - Exams (6 - lowest exam score will be dropped)
25% - Lab Assignments
5% - Homework Assignments (5 graded)
5% - Design Challenges (10 - as announced in lecture and on course website)
All grades will be posted on D2L.

Punctuality: Please arrive on-time to class.

Reading: Be prepared. Read over the material being covered in lecture before coming to class. For the most part, the lectures will follow the organization of the book. Any planned deviations from this order will be announced beforehand.
Late Homeworks: Late homeworks will be accepted no later than the scheduled lecture immediately following the due date and will result in a 15% deduction in total possible points for the assignment.
Regrades: All requests for regrades must be submitted in writing within one week of the distribution of graded material. Problems requested to be regraded will be regraded in their entirety, which could possibly result in a lower score for the requested problem.
