Grading

Turn in your lab report.

We will have 8~10 labs. All labs weight equally and they will be 25% of your final grades.

Late lab report will be penalized 10% each day. No lab report will be accepted after next lab sessions. (In our case, it's likely to be Monday if the due day is Wednesday.) No hard copy lab report will be accepted during weekend, but you can e-mail me (tihuang at cs . uh . edu) your files and report with proper folders (in one tar-ed, tar-gzip-ed, or zip-ed file) during the weekend.

If you have questions regrading grading your lab reports, you should see me during any of my lab sessions within two weeks after you pick up your lab reports.
