Grading
There
will be two midterms and one final. The first midterm will be September
25 and the second October 30. Depending on the results of the first
midterm, the second midterm can be in the form of a take home
assignemet. During the class we will discuss the possibility of a
project based final exam. I will assign HW and collect them every 2 or
3 weeks. The final
grade will be based on HW (15%), midterms (40%) and final (45%).
