Course format:

For each week in this five-week course, there will be about 3-5 video lectures. There will be supplemental reading attached to each, in PDF format. Practice problems will be an essential part of each week's curriculum. There will be a 10-point quiz each week that may be taken up to three times. Finally, each week will have a graded homework assignment worth 10 points. In week 1 and week 5, it will be auto graded through the quiz tool. For weeks 2-4, there will be peer graded assignments.

Grading policy:

Here is how the final grade for the course will be calculated:

1. Weekly quizzes (5) 20 points each

2. Weekly assignments (5) 20 points each

The assignments in weeks 2-4 will be peer-assessed and assigned a grade by five of your fellow students.

70% or more (140 total points) or more are needed for satisfactory completion

90% or more (180 total points) will allow for completion of the course with Distinction.
