COURSE EVALUATION – Grading Schemes:
I Homework - 10% (seven assignments: 2% per homework,
and the five highest marks are used in the final
evaluation):
I
Midterm - 40% (two midterms in class)
I
Final - 50% (30% for STAT-675)
Project - 20% (for STAT-675 only)
Remarks:
I Medical document is required to evidence the missing of a
homework due time, the midterm, or the final is due to
illness. When applied, the credit will then be recovered by
re-weighting the score at the final exam.
