Online Format of Tests and Exams
Due to this term being online, there will be no in-person tests or exams. Instead of in-person midterm and final exams, there will be limited time midterm and final assessments somewhat similar to a cross between "traditional" exams and assignments. More information about the midterm and final assessments will be posted later.
We only mark what is submitted by the deadline. Plan to submit early in case of unforeseen circumstances.
