Grading
Turning in work and late policy
Late work will
receive no credit. You will turn in project milestones
and homework via Canvas.
Cheating policy
I have a no tolerance policy on cheating, which includes
copying from friends and plagarism. If you get caught
cheating, you will get an F in this class and I will
turn you into the univerisity's academic integrity
group.
Quizzes
I will give you full credit on your two
lowest quiz grades for the quarter. That way, if you
need to miss a class or two and there is a quiz, you
won't be penalized. If you take all of the quizzes, I
will replace your two lowest quiz scores with full
credit.
Grade breakdown
Your grade will be composed of
the following items:
| Item |

presentation 5%, final project 5%, participation 3%

| Homework | 24% |

| COVID-19 bump | 24% |
We're going to give everyone 24 points this
quarter as a way to recognize the difficulty of
taking classes online and to compensate for our
inability to teach as well without being in
person.

Grade scale
I grade on a straight grade scale. Although most of the
points in this class will come towards the end of the
quarter, the milestones will help give you a sense of
how well you are doing on the final project.
