Exams: The course will be divided into four sections. For each section, points will be earned based on a short report based on results from in-class work. These “exams” will build on skills and concepts learned in previous weeks. The exams will be worth 150, 250, 300, and 300 points, respectively. The final exam will be assigned the last day of class and due at the end of the finals period. All exams are take-home, open book, and open note. You may consult with the professor and your fellow students but your work should be produced independently, including code and captions.
