Course Grading:

Final letter grades are determined from your final cumulative score that is computed using the following breakdown:

  • 34% Exams :
    2 exams, one midterm and one final, each worth 17%
  • 16% Homeworks :
    8 homework assignments, each worth 2%
  • 50% Projects :
    4 coding projects, each worth 12.5%

Letter grades are assigned at the end of the semester. The curve is determined after the final exam is completed. The median student's course grade is usually a low B.
