Grading
Grading will be based on the following. This may be adjusted as the class progresses.
- Participation: These are some of the expectations
- In person attendance is mandatory for both the lab and the lectures, having done the readingslisted on the course web page for the day.
- There will be a small number of homeworks graded pass/fail.
- The class and lab are run informally with an expectation that students create a positive, helpful, caring environment for their classmates
- Participation will be assessed by the instructor’s and teaching assistants based on the expectations above.
- About 20%
- Programming Assignments: During the semester there will several programming assignments. Each assignment will excercise multiple “skills” and they will be scored pass/fail on each of the skills. Your assessment for PAs will be based on which skills you demonstrate mastery in.
- Final exam, Midterm, Term Project: There will be both a midterm and a final exam. They will be in class, closed book, and online. Based on the makeup and mood of the class there might be an option for a term project instead of one or the other.
