Grading philosophy
| ~ ~ ~ |
There will be 8 or 9 assignments. The lowest grade will be dropped off. Assig. 6 is a team presentation, which should be researched early in the semester and presented to the class in the last few weeks.It will count for 10% of your grade. The topics will be discussed in class and agreed upon by the instructor. See many examples There will be 3 or 4 quizzes for a total of 30%. Participation in class discussions will count for 10%. |
