EXAM:
There will be a final exam. It will be closed everything -- no books, slides, computers, etc.
You will only be allowed to bring along with you 1 A4-size paper of your own notes ('cheat sheet'), you can use both sides.
The final date will be announced during the semester.
CLASS PARTICIPATION:
Attendance will be quantified via pop-up quizzes in class. Each quiz will be a short-answer question, to be answered given 2-3 minutes. The quizzes can be any time during the class, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in between.
There will be 15-18 such quizzes, 1 point each. We will select the highest-score 10 out of those for each student, for a total of 10% of the final grade.
Students who attend class will get 0.5 point even if they return a blank answer. Partial answers will earn 0.75, and correct answers will get 1 point. Students who miss class and hence the quizzes will receive 0 point.
