Preparing materials, posting on Moodle, grading exams, recording grades, maintaining records

All materials, including the written text, handouts, and any information spoken in class or written on the board is expected to be reflected in your work. Take notes, and study the textbook and handouts. Quizzes are not scheduled, but may be given if students need such motivation. Keep all of the work you do during the course until after the final grades have been announced. Your final grades will be determined by the following course components:

• Attendance, quizzes (if applicable), and participation (group performance, meeting deadlines, technical points, etc.): 20%


• Assignments: 60% (See below for description and points)


• Group project proposal presentation: 20%

ATTENDANCE, PUNCTUALITY & ASSIGNMENT POLICIES

• Attendance and punctuality are requited.


• Students who are absent for more than 1/3 of total class hours (48) without an appropriate reason and documentation will lose 30% from their final grade.


• All required assignments must be submitted as instructed on or before the due dates.


• Late assignments will be given a lower grade (20% for each week late) unless an extension has been requested in advance.


• Make-up sessions for individual presentations may be held for the students with appropriate reasons but will have 10% deducted from the grade awarded. 


• Missing a group presentation may NOT be made up.
