Five homework sets will be issued during the quarter. These problem sets are intended to deepen understanding of the material. The homework set grade is a substantial portion of the course grade and should be addressed accordingly.
Two projects will be assigned. These required significantly more effort than the homework set, and as such count for 50% of the final grade.
Grades in ME597 will be determined based on proficiency on Homework Sets, and Term Projects. and In-Class Quizzes. There are no exams in ME 597. The relative weighting of each graded event is shown below:
| Homework Sets | 500 pts |
| Term Projects | 500 pts |
Occasionally, students will be offered the opportunity to obtain extra credit points. These points are added to the student's total while the total points for the course remain at 1000.
