===== Weights  =====

The weight distribution of the course components is as follows:

  * 50% - Assignments (5 assignments weighted 10%, 10%, 10%, 10%, 10%)
  * 15% - Quizzes (5*3%)
  * 15% - Midterm
  * 20% - Final Exam

==== How to calculate final grade ====

The total will be converted then using the standard scale to final letter grade

===== Late Work =====
Please submit your work on time! __**Late reports receive a mark of 0!**__

===== Missed Quizes / Test =====
  * In case you miss the quiz or mid-term because of a sickness (__note from your Physician/Doctor is required__) the weight of the missed component is added to the final test. Otherwise you receive mark of 0 points for mid-term.

  * If you miss the final exam there is special procedure to follow. Details are published by the Registrar Office [[http://www.registrar.yorku.ca/exams/deferred/|here]].
