/etc/policy The grade will be based on projects, a class presentation (30 minutes plus report), and two tests. Each project must be meticulously documented and clearly identify its purpose, author, and date. Tests are noncomprehensive but may have some overlap of material from one test to the next. The distribution of grades will be as follows:
Projects | 40% |
Two tests | 20% each |
Class presentation | 20% |
Anyone desiring an EXC grade after October 22, 2004 must be passing the course at that point to get EXC.

Failure to hand in any assignment will result in an automatic zero for that assignment. If some student is unable to hand in an assignment by the deadline, he/she must discuss it with me before the deadline. If you are found copying an assignment from another student or internet, you get a zero for that assignment automatically.
If you need special accommodation for any reason, including disability, please see me in the first two weeks of class.
