Update on Final Exam / Grading Policy

As we have discussed in class and via email, there will not be a final exam, but instead we will give more weight to the term project. The updated grading policy is as follows:

• Assignments: 35% (was 30%)
• Term project + demo: 30% (was 15%)
• Class participation: 5% (was 5%)
• Midterm exam: 30% (was 25%)
• Final exam: 0% (was 25%)

Also, the fourth assignment is an optional one. If you submit it, we will use the best three grades out of the four assignments to determine your assignments grade.
