COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE

Problem Sets

There are ten problem sets, two quizs and one final exam for CNS. You must finish all these to pass the course, and you must put in a reasonable effort on all of them. Each problem set counts 10 scores and each quiz counts 30 scores and the final exam counts 40 scores. So at last your grade will be based on these 200 scores. Each problem set is handed out on Monday and is due the following Monday at 5PM, unless otherwise noted.
