<br>======Grades======
<br>
<br>(A) 學期成績包括三部分的評量：習題 (30%)、報告 (40%)、期末考 (30%)。以原始分數為基礎，視全班學
<br>習狀況做整體比較後，以等第制給定最後的成績。
<br>
<br>(B) Apr 10 (Wed) 報告繳交（第一次）
<br>(C) May 15 (Wed) 報告繳交期限
<br>(D) Jun 18 (Mon) final (Chap 8-15)
<br>
<br>(E) 報告一律以A4紙張印出繳交，限定6頁，不可多也不可少。報告須包含三個部分：提問與簡介、本
<br>文、結論，取材只要與統計物理相關即可，不受限於教科書內容。報告後需附上自評，包括報告成績、學
<br>習與書寫流程與時間、優劣處分析等等，自評不計入前述6頁限制，長短不拘，但務求詳實清楚。
<br>
<br>(F) 期末考有5題，每題佔20分，加上加分題後共120分。考試可以攜帶課本、豪豬筆記與自己的筆記，但
<br>請勿因為心慌而大量影印不相干的資料。考試期間不可交談討論、不可使用通訊器材與外聯絡，也請不要
<br>偷看他人答案。
