Thank you for your interest in the course.
The final details are being worked on but I can say that the final score would be accumulative from all the assigned homeworks and the final exam. The final exam would be proctored online one on one with your TA.
Since the academic quality is controlled by the Baruch MFE program, I imagine they would make this a pretty challenging course and set the bar very high.
Each chapter would have quiz and programming assignment(s). The programming would count toward your final grade. You need to pass the quiz of each chapter and eventually, you have to pass in order to access materials of the next chapter. Think of it as unlock each stage of a game. You can't run before you walk and you shouldn't be looking at chapter 5 if you haven't passed chapter 2.
The quiz won't count toward the final exam but we use it to ensure you know the material of each chapter well before going to the next one.
This is our plan and a lot of it depends on how much we can push the software platform which we code our course software on.
Lastly, since we want to make sure each student to really learn the language, not just simply give a piece of paper to whoever can pay, we want to keep the size of each intake small to ensure a high level of quality and personal attention.
Hope this helps.
