Grading Policy

  • Assignments (5-6): 80%
  • Project: 20%
  • Grading Interviews: Homework assignments will be graded through an interview with the TA. Your TA will announce when grading meetings are available, and it is your responsibility to schedule an interview with your TA as soon as the scheduler is posted on Moodle. Your TA will ask you questions about the work you will have submitted the previous week. These questions are designed to test your understanding of the solution code submitted.
