Grading and Other Administrivia:

Exams: There will be a two midterms and a final experience.  Each exam will contribute 25% while the final experience will contribute 5% towards the final grade.

Labs: There will be some number of labs up to 14, plus some number of homework assignments.  These will constitute 50% of your grade. 

 

Since we are no longer doing half the labs, the points for those will be added to the final exam experience.  Thus the new breakdown is 30 points for the final exam and 25 points for the CADET projects.  The total number of points is still 105/100.
