Evaluation
Your final course grade is determined based on your performance in 2 midterms (best midterm performance counts for 40%) and a final exam (60%), all with multiplechoice questions. Note that sample questions are posted on the textbook website. In addition there is an optional assignment in the Participant Pool (up to 2%, above and beyond the sum of exam scores). Please note that all matters related to the administration of the study and transfer of credits MUST be discussed with the designated TA. Credits MUST be received by the last lecture so that they can be added to your score.
