Two exams - 35% each, Homework - 30%. Homework will be demonstrated in the lab, beginning the second week (7/20). From 2 to 5 problems will have been assigned the previous week. During the demo, I will ask to see one (or at most two) of the assigned programs for that week. You will not know in advance which two I will want to see, so to be safe, you need to do the entire assignment. There will be 4 or 5 demos total, so each one will count about 6% (5 x 6% = 30%) of your grade.
