| Final Examination |

| Project |
250 points |
| Exercises and attendance |
100 points |
| Critical Paper |
100 points |
| TOTAL |
1000 points |
No make-up examinations will be given: try to schedule other life events around them. No "out-of-town", "car-broke-down", "got-an-interview", "we're-swamped-at-work" excuses will suffice. Serious illness accompanied by documentation of said will be followed by rescheduling of the exam at some time mutually agreed upon by student and instructor; rescheduled exam will be of different content and will likely follow a different format than the regularly-scheduled exam.
No assignments will be accepted after the given due date. The assignments for the project are sequential in nature: missing the due date for one will upset the remainder of the schedule.
