For COL331:
Basic Labs / Homeworks: 9 (best three out of four, 3 marks each)
Minor1: 25
Minor2: 25
HoH Labs: 25 (4 + 10 + 11)
Best two out of three among Minor1, Minor2, and HoH Labs would be considered: Best2(Minor1, Minor2, HoH Labs) = 50.
Major: 41
Total: 100
HoH Labs must be done in groups of at most two people. The first three parts of the HoH lab assignments carry a total of 25 marks. If you do these three HoH lab parts, your final score will be computed using the best two out of the three (Minor1, Minor2, and HoH Labs).
Further, there are two more HoH lab parts (for a total of five), which are not a part of the course requirements. If you finish all five HoH lab parts (with good overall performance), you will receive a letter of appreciation from the instructor and the systems research group's T-shirt. To claim the letter and the T-shirt, the fourth and fifth parts of the HoH lab assignment must be done individually.
For COL633:
Basic Labs / Homeworks: 6 (best three out of four, 2 marks each)
Minor1: 17

HoH Labs: 28 (4 + 8 + 6 + 10)
Major: 31
Total: 100
All five HoH labs are compulsory for COL633 registrants. The HoH labs must be done individually by COL633 students. Students finishing all five HoH lab parts with excellent performance, will receive a letter of appreciation from the instructor and the systems research group's T-shirt.
For HoH labs, the deadline time for a lab is 11:59pm on the deadline date. You will be allowed a total of 10 free late days (across all HoH lab assignments). i.e., you can submit your assignment late without penalty provided you stay within your budget of late days. After you exceed your budget of free late days, you will be penalized at the rate of 1 mark per day. i.e., if your assignment had a weight of 5 and you have a late day penalty of 2 marks, you will be evaluated out of 3 for that assignment. The late penalty for any single assignment will never exceed 3 marks. If you submit late, you are responsible for scheduling your demo with the TA. If you are unable to schedule your demo, your submission will not be counted. The accounting of late days will be done at the granularity of one hour. We will provide enough time for you to work on your assignments and advise you to use these late days judiciously to cover unforeseen/emergency situations. No other request for deadline extension will be entertained
Exams will be open book, open notes. You must bring with you
