Grading:
The final grade for this course will be calculated as a weighted sum of scores for exams,
assignments, project deliverables, quizzes, and git and class activities. For passing the course, you
need to pass all course components.
Please note that the group project is a vital part of this course, and every team member will be
individually marked based on the delivered project, their performance throughout the course of the
project, as well as peer evaluations by teammates. There will be penalties for team members who are
deemed not to have performed optically in the group during each phase of the project.
