Grading
Points towards grades are distributed as follows:
| IME 105 | IE 409 | |
| 14 lab reports | 5 or 10* points - 85 | 5 or 10* points - 85 |
| 9 Fortran problem sets (best 8) | 5 points each - 40 | --- |
| 3 Fortran Applications | 10 points each - 30 | |
| Quiz (mid-term) | 20 points on Fortran | --- |
| Test 2 (final) | 25 points on Fortran | --- |
| Total points | 200 | 85 |
Grading will follow a 90-80-70-60% scale with some possible loosening due to the subjectivity of partial credit.
