UNITS: There are 11 units in this course, each with a 2-letter ID that symbolizes the main topical area considered.

Either 10 or 15 points, depending on the time and difficulty of the unit, will be given when mastery is demonstrated by a quiz grade of at least 90% (or an equivalent sequence of successes through our new automated quiz system).
