The Probabilistic Method

Grading

Grades will be tentatively weighted as follows:
35% Exams (~3 in lab exams)
35% Lab Assignments (~7, roughly biweekly)
20% Final Project
10% Classroom/Lab/Piazza participation, including reading quizzes

Homework Policy

Lab Assignments. Lab assignments will be roughly biweekly, assigned at the start of a lab, and due before lab two weeks later. Most lab assignments will be similar in spirit to lab assignments in other group 1 CS classes (like CS41 or CS46) or to problem sets you've been assigned in some math classes. You are strongly encouraged (but not required) to work with a partner. Assignments may be handwritten or typeset using LaTeX.

Late Policy. Each student will be given 2 late days for the semester. These can be used to hand in lab assignments late, and can be used for any reason---illness, interviews, paper deadlines, hackathons, etc. For partnered assignments, both students need to have late days to use them. If only one partner has late days remaining, you cannot use late days for the lab assignment. Once you use up your late days, further late assignments will not be accepted except in very unusual extreme circumstances.

You do not need to notify my ahead of time to use late day(s). Just email me your solutions or hand them to me when you have finished.
