Grading
- Weekly exercises: 12 × 3.5% = 42%
- Project: 30%
- Quizzes: 2 × 10% = 20%
- Final quiz: 8%
Late penalty: 20% per day.
To get credit for this course, I expect you to demonstrate that you know how to use programming techniques to manipulate and analyze data. That means:
- A pass on the weighted average of the stuff where you demonstrate programming ability: exercises + project.
- A pass on the weighted average of the quizzes.
Failure to do these may result in failing the course.
