Grading Policy
There is no final exam in this year's version of the course.
Rather, a student's final grade will be based exclusively on the
grades awarded to each of the three projects. The three projects
each count for 33% of the final grade.
Each project will be graded by a different teacher. Although these instructors
work together to provide a quality course, they do NOT grade in exactly the same way.
Do not assume that one teacher's grading policy will be the same as another's. Ask
each instructor about their policy, when in doubt.
Individual work
You can work on the projects alone or in groups of two, no
larger.
You are free to discuss problems with your classmates, but
keep the discussions at a high level. All students/groups must
produce the working code and the report for the projects by
themselves and should be able to answer basic questions about any
portion of their own code.
Direct copying of any part of a project will result in an
immediate failing mark (F) for the entire course. This pertains
to the copier as well as the source!
