====================================
Grades

1. 學期成績包括三部分的評量:習題 (30%)、互評 (30%)、報告 (40%)作為原始分數為基礎,視全班學習狀況做整體比
較後,以等第制給定最後的成績。
2. 習題共8回於星期三課堂繳交,詳細日期見下。
3. 組成報告小組,每組1-3人,選定2-3個主題做深入研究與探討。以powerpoint或keynote呈現,報告時間10-15
分鐘,除任課老師外,其餘學生亦需繳交簡短的評量短報。
4. 每位學生於期末須繳交一份書面報告,以LaTEX專業語言呈現。書面報告須包含三部分:提問與簡介、本文、結論,
取材自每週主題,但不受限於教科書內容。針對此書面報告,另附上簡短自評,包括報告成績、學習與書寫流程與時
間、優劣處分析等等,自評須繳交但不列入計分。

Apr 23 (Wed) 可繳交報告送初審
Jun 4 (Wed) 報告繳交期限
