Course grades
Grades will be based on:
Home works (20 %).
Mini project (10 %) to be handed in by 15th October.

Collaboration / academic integrity
Students are encouraged to collaborate in the solution of HW problems, but submit independent solutions that are NOT copies of each other. Funny solutions (that appear similar/same) will be given zero credit.
Softwares may be used to verify the HW solutions. But submission of software solution will result in zero credit.
2. Groups of 2 for the projects
(no two projects to be the same/similar)
A single grade will be assigned to the group and not
to the individuals.
Homeworks (20%)
1. Be as detailed and explicit as possible. For full credit Do NOT omit steps.
2. Only neatly written homeworks will be graded
3. Late homeworks will NOT be accepted.
4. Two lowest grades will be dropped (except HW #1).
5. Solutions will be posted on the course website
