The will be no make-up exam for midterms under any circumstances. If you miss a midterm exam for medical reasons🚑, your final exam will count as 60% of the course.
Homework (10%): about 5 assignments will be posted at least a week before they are due with a clear date to hand them in. You may discuss problems among yourselves, but everything you write or type must be your own work.
All homework assignments have to be submitted electronically through Gradescope and adhere to the Gradescope Homework Submission Guidelines. No late homework will be accepted, submit what you have done on the due date. Re-grades also have to be submitted through Gradescope and will not be accepted beyond 5 days after the return of homework.
