grade?
There is a lecture summaries
web page that summarizes each lecture.
The summary is organized by date and includes
a brief list of the topics covered, a set of links to
any examples covered in class that were not in the textbook, and a
list of the corresponding readings in the text. You can easily reach
this page by selecting the "Brief lectures overviews" entry on
the EE150 home page.
How do I find out my grade on a programming
assignment?
All grading information is posted on the WWW.
The way things work is this.
Your actual score is determined by a human grader who examines
the code and results and assigns points. This score is then posted to the WWW
EE150 pages usually by class time on the following Friday. (The professor
will warn you during class if it is likely to take longer.)
Is this class graded on a curve or
a straight 90,80,70 grading scale?
It's essentially a straight scale. The only way to guarantee an A is to get 90%, to guarantee a B is to get 80%, to guarantee a C is to get 70%, and to guarantee a D is to get 60%.
However, we do sometimes adjust the grading scale slightly so that we allow 90% of the best person in the class to be an A, 80% of that to be a B, 70% of that to be a C, and 60% of that to be a D. However, the best person in the class is usually in the 97-98% range, so this makes only a little difference (and we do not always adjust the grades this way).
