Your final grade for the course will be based on the following weights:
The course will be quite hands on. We will have 5 labs. In general, the lab should be done in groups of 2-3. Each project will be due 2-3 weeks after it is assigned. You should pick your own group members for your projects, but you may use the Canvas to help find group members.
There will be 4 problem sets assigned during the term, which are to be done individually.
We will have two in-class exams.
