Grading Policy
MidSem (30%): Written examination and/or practical tests will be conducted to evaluate the understanding of Module 1 and Module 2. It will be approx. at the end of September 2026.
EndSem (40%): Written examination and/or practical tests will be conducted to evaluate the understanding of the entire syllabus (Module 1 - 4). It will be approx. at the end of November 2026.
Mini-Project (25%): Students will design and implement an open project in a team environment or individually. Within two weeks of the start of the semester, the students will form teams (if needed) and develop project proposals for instructor approval. Students will consult online materials and discuss with the instructor and/or the teaching assistant to select a project. They must understand the constraints related to time, budget, and technical limitations to accomplish their goal. A final grade will be assigned to the project based on the completion of all objectives stated in the proposal and project report, as well as a live demonstration in front of the class. The complexity of your project and the size of your team will be taken into account.
Attendance (5%): It will be calculated according to the following policy.
Attendance Policy
+5 for 100% attendance and -5 for 0 attendance. The rest will be proportionate.
Exams
MidSem (Theory): TBD. Approx. towards the end of Sep, 2026
EndSem (Theory): TBD. Approx. towards the end of Nov, 2026
