At the end of each module, there will be a take-home Module Review, which will be due one week after in it handed out. Also, for weeks when there is no review, there will be a brief homework. These homeworks will be handed out on Thursday and are due the following Tuesday.

The third Module Review will serve as substitute for a final exam.
