Grading Scheme (Tentative)
The grade will be made of three parts: Exams, Assignments, and Quizzes. Students will be evaluated solely based on the their individual achievement in exams and assignments. No collaboration is allowed, except exchanging general ideas in class.
| each score | overall score | max | mode | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mid-term exams | mj (1 ≤ j ≤ 4) | M | 100 | Selection |
| reports & oral presentation | rj (1 ≤ j ≤ 4) | R | 100 | Selection |
| product implementation | ij (1 ≤ j ≤ 2) | I | 100 | Mandatory |
| final exam | F | F | 100 | Mandatory |
The final score will be computed as the following.
| Final Score | |
|---|---|
| 0.6 × max{M, R} + 0.3 × I + 0.1 × F |
The letter grades will be assigned according to the final score.
| Grade | Final Score |
|---|---|
| A-, A, A+ | 90 ≤ S |
| B-, B, B+ | 75 ≤ S < 90 |
| C, C+ | 60 ≤ S < 75 |
