Regrade requests can be made by submitting a separate written document, explaining the reason for the request, along with the entire graded material. Regrade requests can only be initiated within 14 days of the due date of the assignment. As no regrade requests will be considered after this time period, make sure to check graded material in a timely manner. Keep in mind that the entire graded material will be regraded, not just the one aspect mentioned in the regrade request document, and grades may both increase or decrease, depending on the outcome of the regrading.
The midterm exams will be held in lecture. The final exam will be held during the time and date set by the registrar. Bring your Bruin ID to the exam sessions. No makeup exams will be given, and missing the final for any reason will result in a failing course grade.
Scheduled quizzes will be take place at the end of discussion section, and will be closely related to the assigned homework problems. Homework will not be collected, but it will serve as important practice for the exams and the quizzes. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped from the course average, in an effort to accommodate for any unforeseen circumstances.
Projects will be assigned throughout the quarter to practice and enhance the topics covered in lecture. Project should be submitted electronically, as instructed in the project specification. Projects are due at 9 PM on the due date. Absolutely no late projects will be accepted.
