Grading
Your grade is determined
from the following sources:
|
Work |
Percentage of grade |
|
Individual projects /
written homework |
40% total |
|
Group project |
20% total |
|
Midterms |
20% total |
|
Final exam |
20% |
Grades are normally assigned
using traditional 90% - 80% - 70% - 60% cutoffs. I reserve the right to lower
these thresholds, but not to raise them.
Policies
Attendance
Attendance is required; with
few exceptions, those who do best in courses are those who attend regularly.
You will be allowed three unexcused absences; additional missed classes will
result in a 5% deduction from your overall grade. Late arrivals and early
departures (10 minutes or more) count as an absence.
Late Homework
Assignments are due by the
end of the day (11:59pm) on the due date. For each calendar day late, 10% of
the assignment’s possible score will be deducted.
Academic Honesty
You are expected to do your
own work in this course! You are free to give general help to others in the
course, but you may not collaborate on assignments, unless specifically
permitted in the assignment. Turning in (substantially) identical work will
result in a zero grade for that assignment. Subsequent collaboration will
result in failure of the course.
Students With Disabilities
In accordance with
University procedures, if you have a documented disability and require
accommodations to obtain equal access in this course, please contact me privately
to discuss your specific needs. You must be registered with CSP Disability
Services, which is located at Wick House, and provide a letter of accommodation
to verify your eligibility. You can reach CSP Disability Services at
330-941-1732.
