Labs and Grading

Lab Deadline Policy

Please refer to the course homepage for deadlines

• Soft deadline, and then hard deadline 2 days later
  • You use 1 late day if you submit within 24 hours after the soft deadline
  • You use 2 late days if you submit between 24 and 48 hours
• After 48 hours past the soft deadline, no submission will be accepted
• You have 7 late days total; up to 2 can be used for a single lab
  • Check late days: /home/w3157/submit/check-late-days
  • Late days are for unforeseen circumstances such as sickness
  • Please do not ask for additional extensions
• Absolutely no exception under any circumstances

How Lab Scores Calculated

• Your lowest lab score will be converted to zero
• Lab score = (SUM(your lab 1-7 & HW0) - MIN(your lab 1-7)) / 820 * 100
• 100 for lab 1-5, 120 for lab 6, 150 for lab 7 (and 50 for HW0)
• Maximum possible lab score is 720/820*100 = 87.8, not 100
• May skip grading some labs, in which case formula will change
• See OVERVIEW SLIDES for the overall course grading scheme
