The assignments are primarily graded on a 0-100 scale, with some exceptions above 100. The grading is not strictly based on right or wrong solutions, because computer work includes elements of composition, style, and creativity, as do written reports. The assignments are the key learning vehicle for this class. I act more like a consultant or mentor than a traditional teacher. These are important attributes of successful careers.
Assignments have due dates, at the beginning of each class .
If you're late, you lose two points per day beyond the deadline, up to a maximum of 10 points. Graded assignments are returned the following week, before your next assignment is due . Contact me before the due date if you have a legitimate reason for tardiness. Much of what you will learn in computing is self-taught, with a little help from the book, the software, and me. Part of this learning process includes posing the right questions and participating in the answers.
