Course Evaluation Method and Criteria
There will be 5 or more assignments, in which students are asked to replicate some results from leading research papers. Many assignments require Python or Maxima. The course grade will be determined by the average of the grades of all assignments. To pass the course, you must earn C (which is about 60 out of 100) or above for each assignment.
教科書・参考書
Textbook/Reference Book
