Course Outlines
Somewhat out of date outlines:
Grading
There is no exam in this course, and only one test. That means most of your marks will come from labs and assignments. If you want to do well in the course: come to all the labs. Not only will that get you 20% of the final grade but it will prepare you for the assignments.
Besides, you're here to learn, not just to get grades, right?

|---|---|---|
| Ten labs | Ten labs | 20% |
