+  *The marks of the Final Exam, the overall letter grades, and the Verilog labs are now on ePost (these grades are unofficial until approved by <del>the Senate</del> whoever approves it). The letter grades are based on the weighted sum of the three components: Midterm, Final, and Labs. The breakdown of the Labs component is also posted as before. If you suspect errors in your letter grade, take one of the following actions depending on the type of error: If you see an arithmetic error (i.e. the posted component marks do not add up to the posted letter grade) then email me. On the other hand if you suspect an error in the marking of your final exam, then wait until the test papers are in the Department Office (around the middle of Sept) and then request a copy of your exam from the Dept Office and, if needed, submit a petition to the Dept Office.
