Since this is a 4 credit course, expect to spend between 12 and 16 hours per week in the class, writing brief papers, doing lab assignments, or studying. Some weeks may take more time, others less. Classroom participation grades are based on whether comments reflect current readings or other relevant material irrelevant participation does not count. See Weekly assignments , below. All papers and discussion receive a letter grade, tests and some assignments receive numeric grades.
Final grades are the weighted sum of all grades.
The ID should be 5 letters and or characters, should not include your SSN, and should not identify you to anyone other than yourself. Paper conventions For readability, all papers should be double-spaced and in a font no smaller than 12. Also, please do not use full-justification since it is difficult for me to read. All papers should be grammatically correct, spell-checked, clearly written, and structurally sound. Papers not meeting these requirements may be returned for rewriting.
