Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
Three components, weighted 40/20/40. Each one asks for a computed number and the working that produced it, in that order of importance: a correct figure with no derivation attached earns close to nothing here, because the derivation is the thing being marked.
Weekly Assignments
Ten short problem sets across the semester, each asking for one computed quantity and the working that produced it.
