Grading
A grade will be assigned for your perfomance on each topic. It will be
based on material you will hand in, a group presentation or report, and
your demonstration of what your group has done in a meeting with the TA at
the end of each 3-week period. You will work together to learn the material
from each topic and produce a report or presentation, but each of you must
understand what is in the report and what was done in your experiments.
Members of a single group will not necessarily all receive the same grade
based on the discretion of the professor and TA.
