Grades in this course will be determined by a combination of three kinds of points:
Grading for the required assignments is straightforward—each assignment is worth a given number of points. We total the points you earn, divide by the number possible.
For the optional assignments, there is a list to choose from, each worth a certain number of points. You'll also be allowed to propose your own assignments. Finally, you'll be permitted the option of taking a final exam to earn additional points. If you reach the target of 500 points, you get 100% for this part of your grade.
For the peer-evaluations and participation, I will look at both the numeric scores on the peer evaluations, the comments, and also the grades (0,1,2,3) for participation assignments, and based on that, come up with a number between 0% and 10% for that part of your grade.
The table below is a list of the assignments on WebCT and the status of grading for each of them. Oana and I will update this table as we make progress on the grading.
The first column in this table corresponds to the column headings under "My Grades in WebCT", and is now a complete list (as of 5/3/2006)
