  • Grade Distribution: Group Project 40%(with 4 phases report and a final presentation). Weekly in-class little quiz 5% in total. Midterm 20%. Final 35%
    Comments: Group projects are overall pretty easy, but you won't get a high mark for them. Weekly quiz is just simply answer some philosophical problems. Midterm is harder than I expected and final is fair, make sure you have some understanding of the course material and lec practice questions.
