Participation
Students should do the core readings before the lectures and
participate in class discussions during both lectures and student
presentations. At the beginning of the lecture, students must hand in
a piece of paper with a set of 5 questions about the material being
covered that day. These questions may be used during discussions.
Attendance in class is expected. If you must miss class you should
send me email with an explanation. In this case, you may send your
questions to me via email, but you will only be given credit if they
arrive before the beginning of the lecture.
Half the participation grade is based on your contribution to the
discussion, and half is on the questions you submit.
Evaluation
I will send you mail with detailed feedback on your work over the
course of the term as it is completed. Your project grade will be
based on the following criteria:
- proposal
- update presentation
- final presentation
- final report
- project content
Typically the grades will be based on a scale of the sort {great 100%,
good 89%, ok 78%, poor 67%}, although the exact weighting may vary.
