V. Grading
- Weekly Homework: 20% of Final Grade
- Grading: Homework grade is computed by dropping the two lowest scores and then computing the average; this implies that each student may omit two homeworks in case of extenuating circumstances. Since the solutions will be posted immediately after the submission deadline, no late submission will be accepted.
- Submission: Homework should be uploaded as a PDF file to gradescope in which we have added each student enrolled, please refer to the following link and video for questions on submission. You can create a gradescope account using your university email ID. Please email Will Cai (wycai2@illinois.edu) if "ECE310" is not shown in your courses.
- Assigned and due dates: Homework is assigned each Friday, due the following Friday at 11:59 p.m. The corresponding solution will be posted on the due date at 11:59 p.m.
- Write neatly: Please box the equations you will be solving and the final answer. If we cannot read it we cannot grade it!
- Regrade requests must be submitted on gradescope within one week of grades being posted. All regrade requests must have a brief justification.
- Again, late homework submissions will not be accepted!
- Exams (will be held in-person): 80% of Final Course Grade
- Midterm Exam 1: 22% of Final Course Grade
- Date: Wednesday, 3/1, 7-9pm

VI. Integrity
This course will operate under the following honor code: All exams and homework assignments are to be worked out independently without any aid from any person or device. Copying from any source is not permitted and will be considered cheating, hence subject to the stipulated university policies. By enrolling in this course and submitting exams and homework assignments for grading, each student implicitly accepts this honor code.
