Regulations
- The final grade will be 30% homework assignments, 70% final exam
- Failing the exam (51) is failing the course, regardless of homework grades
- The grade for late submissions will be reduced by 15% per week
- Homework submission must be in triples or pairs, and sent by email to the TA
- All submitted files must be in one ZIP file named comp#_id1_id2_id3.zip where # is the homework number,
and id1/id2/id3 are the submitters ID numbers. The subject of the email should be the same (without the .zip).
For example: if my ID is 1234 and my partner's ID is 9999, and we are submitting the second assignment,
our file name will be comp2_1234_9999.zip and the subject will be comp2_1234_9999
- Homework bonuses account only for the homework grade, not the grade of the exam
