Homework assignments
There will be 10 homework assignments.
You will be given 5 free late days which you may use as you please throughout the semester,
after which no late assignments will be accepted.
You are allowed to work on homework in small groups,
but you must write up your own homework solutions and code to hand in.
Each homework problem will be graded on a scale of 0-100.
Assignment with the lowest grade for each student will be dropped.
You are encouraged to use this LaTeX template to write your solutions.
Lab assignments
The labs are managed by Dr. Daniel Block and Lab TAs.
The information on lab sessions (lab handouts and other details) are found here.
Lab attendance is compulsory and a passing grade for each of the seven laboratories is expected in this course.
You must complete the pre-lab assignment and become familiar with that week’s lab handout material before arriving to lab.
For all lab-related questions should be addressed to the lab TA assigned to your lab section.
Make use of the lab office hours.
Exams
There will be one in-class midterm exam and a 3-hours final exam from 8-11 a.m in 150 Animal Sciences Laboratory.
Extra Credit
You can earn an extra credit up to 5%.
