My Weekly Schedule
Grading
| Exercises/Tutorials | 30% |
| Three quizzes | 15% |
| Lab notebook | 5% |
| Final project | 50% |
The exercises/tutorials are crucial to avoid a nasty crunch on the day the final project is due. The quizzes will be open note (but closed computer) quizzes; no printouts will be permitted. If you haven't written stuff down in your notebook, haven't done the exercises and worksheets, and can't remember, then you're fresh out of luck.
