Quizzes (10 points each) Each quiz consists of a problem related to topics covered (5-10 minutes in lengths). Midterm test (100 points) Comprehensive final exam (150 points) Labs Planning, Execution and Reports (20 points each lab) Each student is expected to complete the weekly lab assignments during Open Lab time. Even though labs may be performed as a group, the report must be completed individually. Note: In order to be eligible to receive a passing grade for the course, all labs must be completed and turned in prior to final exam date. Project Proposal (20 points) You are expected to work with 1 or 2 other students in the class to develop a project proposal based on the template provided at Project Proposal Template ENGINEERING & COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSE POLICIES: Visit ECS Course Policies for additional important and supporting materials.
