Participation (3% extra credit)
We appreciate student participation in the class! We will be awarding, on a case-by-case basis, up to 3% in
extra credit to the top active participant. The most
active participant will receive the greatest amount of extra credit, and other students with significant
participation will receive a percentage of that.
Late Policy
- All students have 4 free late days for the quarter.
- You may use up to 2 late days per assignment with no penalty.
- You may use late days for the assignments, project proposal, and project milestone.
- You may not use late days for the final project report.
-
Once you have exhausted your free late days, we will deduct a late penalty of 25% per additional late
day.
- For example: you submit A1 one day late, submit A2 three days late, and submit A3 two days late.
You receive no penalty for A1, and exhaust one of your free late days.
For A2 the first two late days exhaust two of your free late days; the third day late incurs a
25% penalty.
For A3 the first late day exhausts your final free late day; the second late day incurs a 25%
penalty.
- For the project proposal and milestone, we will deduct late days from each group member independently.
