These assignments are designed to reinforce your understanding of key concepts and skills. Completing these on time and to the best of your ability is crucial for success. - Midterm Assignment: 30%. - The midterm assignment accounts for **30%** of your final grade. This assignment is an opportunity to demonstrate your grasp of the material covered in the first half of the bootcamp. Take this assignment seriously, as it significantly impacts your overall performance. - Capstone Project: 50%. - The capstone project carries the most weight at **50%** of your final grade. This project is designed to showcase everything you have learned throughout the bootcamp. It is your chance to apply your skills in a comprehensive project, so ensure you include all required elements and adhere to submission deadlines. Being aware of how your grades are distributed is key to achieving your certification. Focus on each component of your coursework to ensure you meet the requirements. As you progress through the bootcamp, stay organized and proactive in your studies.  Your hard work will pay off, and we are excited to see you succeed in this journey!  #### **Need More Help?** If you have any questions, please contact us at studentexperience@circuitstream.com.   -
