Grading: There will be no examinations in this course. Grading will be based on:
All graded assignments will be equally weighed toward the final grade.
Policies Regarding Attendance and Late Submissions:
Grades: In computing your letter grade I will start with the following base scale:
90% = A | 80-89% = B | 70-79% = C | 60-69% = D | 59% = F |
You will receive a + with your grade if the last digit of your score is a 7 or higher, and a - if the last digit is a 3 or lower. I will scale up from this base scale if necessary. So if you get an 87% in this course you are guaranteed a B+ (similarly, an 82% guarantees a B-), but your grade might be higher depending on your performance relative to the rest of the class.
Academic dishonesty of any kind will be dealt with in a manner consistent with the CS&E Department's Policy on Academic Integrity. You are expected to know and abide by this policy, which is available via the department's web page and this course's web page.
Anonymous Suggestion Box: Available at the course's web page is an anonymous suggestion box. I encourage you to submit comments or suggestions regarding my teaching style, course content, etc. You can submit your name and e-mail address with your suggestion, but they are not required.
