Important Information
Please read the infosheet and the coaching sheet carefully, but here is a quick summary of the assignment structure:
Problem Sets Are Not Graded
- Problem sets are ungraded but essential for exam preparation.
- The primary purpose is to help you develop problem-solving skills for the exams.
- Exams will be challenging and require consistent practice throughout the semester.
Personalized Feedback Through Coaching
- Each student gets assigned a TA or UCA as a "coach" for the semester.
- Weekly 30-minute 1-on-1 meetings available for detailed feedback.
- Coaches can live-"grade" portions of your problem sets and provide guidance.
- Use coaching sessions to discuss your approach and get help with difficult concepts.
Grading Credits System
- Attending coaching sessions earns you "credits" that reduce exam weight.
- Each coaching session attended reduces exam weight by 5 percent points.
- Maximum of 8 credits possible (worth up to 40% of the final grade).
- Credits are earned simply by showing up engaged to coaching meetings.
