Evaluation Criteria

Grading: Total 100%
- 40% Group and Individual Assignments
- 30% Midterms
- 30% Individual Project

Late Penalty

Late assignments and project deliverables will be marked at -1% of the course grade (not the assignment grade) for each day it is late, to a max of -5% at which point, no submission will be accepted.

Presentations cannot be late, so anyone who is scheduled to do a presentation but fails to show up at the scheduled time will receive a mark of 0.

Missed Exams

Missed exams will receive a mark of 0 unless a medical note is provided. Students MUST achieve a passing grade on all three course components in order to pass the course. Failure to do so will result in a 45% grade, or the resulting grade, whichever is lower.
