Attendance
Attendance is required in this section. Attendance tallying will begin after the add/drop period. You will receive full credit with up to 3 absences.Your final letter grade is based on the standard formula:
0 ≤ F < 60 ≤ D < 70 ≤ C < 80 ≤= B < 90 ≤ A ≤ 100.
These levels may be adjusted slightly in your favor, but grades will not be “curved” in the conventional sense.
Your grade is given for timely work done during the semester; incomplete grades will only be given for medical illness or other such dire circumstances.
Schedule
Note that the due dates for the projects and the dates of the exams are already set. See calendar below. Please plan your schedules accordingly. Makeup exams will be given only under the most dire circumstances (almost never).
