Prerequisites: The prerequisites for this course are ECS154A or EEC170, and ECS110.

Labs: Approximately one every other week

Late Policy: You may submit up to 48 hours late for partial credit.
The partial credit that you receive is determined by the following equation:
final grade = original grade X (1 - (HoursLate^2)/48^2)
This system penalizes you less if you submit closer to the original deadline.

Grading (approximate!):

Exams 40% (4 @ 10% each)

Labs 28% (4 @ 7% each)

Final 32%

(The percentages will change slightly if we get 5 labs in.)
