Class policies
| After three absences, I will lower your final grade by a letter. A
tardy counts as an absence. After five absences, I will fail you. If you
see that you are going to be out of class for more than a couple of days,
please get in touch with me. I take attendance seriously. Learning is a
cooperative effort, and if you do not show up, you are not pulling your
weight in the class. |
| Late assignments will be penalized 20 points if submitted within one week
of due date. No assignments will be accepted later than one week past the
due date. |
| Any missing projects at quarter's end will automatically result in a
failing class grade. |
Grading scale:
| 90-100 - A |
| 80-89 - B |
| 70-79 - C |
| 60-69 - D |
| Below 60 - F |
