HW, Exam Submission |
All at the course Gradescope page, choose Phys398QIC. This course uses the College of Engineering Computer-Based Testing Facilit service. CBTF Online for its exams. The policies of the CBTF are the policies of this course, and academic integrity infractions related to the CBTF are infractions in this course. If you have accommodations identified by the Division of Rehabilitation-Education Services (DRES) for exams, please email your Letter of Accommodations (LOA) to CBTF Manager Carleen Sacris at sacris1@illinois.edu before you make your first exam reservation. If you have any issue during an exam, please inform the proctor immediately. Work with the proctor to resolve the issue at the time before logging off. Review all instructions on the CBTF website before your first exam: https://cbtf.engr.illinois.edu/cbtf-online/index.html. For Phys398QIC you will download the exam from box (DO NOT PREVIEW) a maximum of 10 min. prior to the exam. You will have 80 min/180 min for semester/final exams, respectively, with a proctor from CBTF. After completing the exam and checking out of CBTF, you will have 10 min. to upload your answers to Gradescope. |

The course will comprise weekly homework (25%), final exam (25%), two midterm exams (15% each), pre-class reading and checkpoint questions (10%), and class participation (10, 9, 7, 4, 0% for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 absences), recorded in the course gradebook. The late homework policy is 20% reduction if submitted less than 2 weeks late and before the final course deadline, whichever is earlier. There are bonus points (maximum 3%) for checkpoint questions answered correctly in class. The (lower) grade boundaries will be A+ (97), A (94), A- (91), B+ (88), B (85), B- (82), C+ (78), C (74), C- (70), D+ (66), D (62), D- (58), F (54) |
