For the most part, we would prefer to teach this course without grades. What a wonderful concept, learning for learning sake! However, even though we can't change the "system" overnight, we can create grading policies that support learning as much as possible. The various course activities will contribute to your grade as follows:
| Activity | Points | Percent of Total Grade |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly Reading Quizzes | 30 | 6% |
| Lab Check-Offs (x20) | 45 | 9% |
| Homework 1 (Word Guessing) | 20 | 4% |
| Homework 2 (Encryptify) | 30 | 6% |
| Homework 3 (2048) | 40 | 8% |
| Midterm Programming Project | 60 | 12% |
| Final Programming Project | 90 | 18% |
| Explore Post | 35 | 7% |
| Midterm | 50 | 10% |
| Final Exam | 100 | 20% |
| Total Points | 500 | 100% |
Your letter grade will be determined by total course points, as shown in the table below. Incomplete grades will be granted only for dire medical or personal emergencies that cause you to miss the final exam, and only if your work up to that point is satisfactory.
