Assessment

Assessment will be based on the following components:

1. Attendance at, and participation in, class meetings. This is a hurdle requirement: you cannot pass the course without satisfying it. Three (3) unexplained absences, or persistent gross late arrival in class, may lead to a grade of F.
2. Regular weekly progress posts on your individual class website. (30% of final grade)
3.  Mid-semester projects report (35% of final grade) – due Sunday, March 22
4. End-of-semester projects report (35% of final grade) – due Tuesday May 5.
