Assessment Criteria

2 Midterm examinations
1 Final exam
This course has a minimal over all grade of 30/100 to be eligible for getting a letter grade. The students whose overall grade at the end of the finals is less than 30 is automatically rewarded with FF. However, this does not mean that the students who have overall grade greater than 30 will pass the lecture. Depending on the over all statistics, one can still get FF or FD and fail.
The letter grades are rewarded according to the statistical nature of the grade distribution and the over all engagement of the students to the lecture discussions.
