Grading
Grades are made up of:
Homeworks | 20% |
Quizzes | 5% |
Midterm | 25% |
Final Project | 45% |
Participation | 5% |
Your grades will be posted on Blackboard. This is also where you should turn in your work.
Extra Credit
Most homeworks and project parts will have extra credit. This extra credit will go towards that assignment's grade.
Participating in Thursday challenges will net you 0.3%. Winning a challenge entitles you to a whapping 0.5%. These are added to your overall grade. You can get 3.9% - 6.5% extra points if you participate every week.
Note that lack of participation in Thursday challenges will not impact your participation grade. It exists as a way to get extra credit.
If on average the class does at least half (rounded down) of the extra credit offered for all homeworks and project parts and there are always at least 2 people interested in Thursday challenges, then I will bring in donuts on presentation day.
Late Assignments
Homeworks and Project Parts are due at 11:59pm. Every day late is 15% off of your grade.
Academic Honesty
Cheating = Failure
Please follow the College Academic Honesty Policy. Do not copy your classmates or look up answers online. You can discuss assignments with classmates, but once you finish the discussion, all material written during the discussion must be destroyed or thrown away.
You must work on assignments alone unless working in pairs is specified as an option.
Do not post any class material online.
