Grading

Your final grade will be based on the following criteria, weighted according to the percentages listed below.

30%	Class Participation
10%	Assignment 1
60%	The Final Project, broken into four segments: 10% each for Assignments 2-4, and 30% for the final draft of the Final Project

Grades are assigned on a 5-point scale:

• 5 ~ A (assignment exceeds requirements throughout)
• 4 ~ A- / B+ (assignment meets all stated criteria and exceeds requirements in several places)
• 3 ~ B (assignment meets all stated requirements)
• 2 ~ C (assignment meets some, but not all, stated requirements)
• 1 ~ D (assignment does not meet stated requirements)
• 0 ~ F

Late assignments will be docked 1 point for each day they are late. The minimum grade for late assignments is 1 point. The Extra Credit assignment will add one point your score on the final draft of the Final Project.
