Gradebook & Syllabus
The course syllabus can be found here.
Our gradebook (with scores for midterm regrades and Quiz 2) is available here.
Your index into this tab-delimited spreadsheet file is a hash on the shortest-possible set of your Student ID's least significant digits. Example: If Alice's student ID were 12345678, and she was enrolled in EE42, and she was the only student to have an id which ended with "678", her row in the gradebook would begin with the string “EE42 *****678.”
