No.	項目	百分比	說明
1.	Team Collaboration	5%	Form a MIXED cultural team of at most 4 people. There must be at least one Taiwanese student in the gro1up. On this ”international team,” you need to work together in class to solve the drills and may have a chance to demonstrate your work to other teams in class. Also, the purpose of having a team in the class is to help each other. Through the discussion in and out of class, all of the members make progress.
2.	Quiz	20%	There will be a ten-minute quiz from 9 am to 9:20 am on every Wednesday. On each quiz, each team will solve two questions chosen from our drills and examples. Quizzes are closed-book and closed-note. No electronics, including calculators, cell phones, or smart watches are allowed. Some formulas and tables may be provided.
3.	Team Homework	15%	There will be four team homework assignments in this course. Each team will submit the homework on each topic. The homework is to find at least three applications of what you have learned on each topic.
4.	Midterms40%		(20% each). There are two mid-term exams in this course. The mid terms are scheduled on – Mid-term 1: October 09 in class. – Mid-term 2: November 13 in class. Mid-terms are closed-book, closed-notes. No electronics, including calculators, cell phones, or smart watches are allowed. Mid-terms will be used to assess demonstration of the learning objectives and may include the combinations of true & false and work-out problems. Some formulas and tables may be provided.
5.	Final Exam	20%	The date of the final exam will be on December 16. The final is closed-book, closed-notes. No electronics, including calculators, cell phones, or smart watches are allowed. The final is cumulative and may include the combinations of true & false and work-out problems. Some formulas and tables may be provided.
