Assignments
Quizzes
Most Tuesdays will begin with a short quiz concentrating on the material covered the previous week in class and from the readings. Paper notes may be used, but no electronic resources. There will be no quizzes during weeks with exams. Not all quizzes will necessarily be graded.
Homework
Each week there will be a short homework. Each will consist of two parts: questions based on the readings from that week (these will be submitted via Canvas), and continuations of code we worked on in class (these will be submitted via GitLab). These will generally be due before Tuesday's class.
Final project
The Final project (FP) consists of three major milestones.
