 ===== Assignments =====
-During the semester, students should complete three problem sets, one engine presentation and a final project. Problem sets can be done in pairs, and the engine presentation and final project in groups of up to 4 people in size. Students discuss final project ideas with instructor in week 7, demonstrate the project in week 12 and turn in a report on the project before exams start. Everything that has to be turned in, should arrive no later than at 23:59 on the due date, or else incur 10% penalty for each additional day, including weekends and holidays.

 Participation grade will be based on: (1) Attendance, (2) Completing online quizzes, (3) Completing lab projects, (4) Participation in online discussion. To the extent possible, this will also be based on how actively the student participates in in-class discussion (based on instructor's subjective assessment).
+UPDATE: Since online quizzes were not regularly provided and online discussion was not very active, the base participation grade will be calculated as 10 * (0.5*(Labs_completed/7) + 0.5*(Lectures_attended/10)). The teacher can then add possible bonus points to this base grade based on a subjective evaluation of the student's participation throughout the semester (into which the online forum may factor).
