This page describes a grading rubric for the lab sessions associated with the course.
Each lab session is worth 10 points. There are two things that contribute to your grade in the lab: your attendance at the lab session and your submission of solutions to the lab exercises. In order to receive full points for attendance, you must arrive no later than 10:10 am, leave when the exercises are complete or 11am whichever comes later, and work the entire time on the lab exercises or some other activity associated with the course. To receive full points for the lab exercises, you must submit a file containing a solution to all exercises on the lab assignment by the deadline specified in the exercise set. A specific rubric for each area is given below:
| Exercise completion | Points earned |
| Submits a file by the deadline containing a solution for all of the lab exercises | 5 |
| Submits a file by the deadline containing a solution to a majority of the lab exercises | 4 |
| Submits a file by the deadline containing at least a partial solution to a majority of the lab exercises | 3 |
| Submits a file by the deadline containing at least a partial solution to some of the lab exercises | 2 |
| Does not submit any solutions to the lab exercises | 0 |
