There will be two examinations during the semester – one midterm exam and one final exam. The exams, both midterm and final, cannot be made up, regardless of the reason for absence.
Submission of Work
Please submit all assignments as printouts.
Late Assignment Policy
- All assignments are due at the beginning of class. As you will note in the tentative schedule, we will typically discuss your deliverables on the due date. A deliverables is considered late if it is turned in after the beginning of class. This time will be strictly enforced.
- In exceptional circumstances, permission to submit an assignment late can be obtained from the instructor prior to the due date and subject to a penalty of 10% deduction for each day after the due date. For example, an assignment worth 50 points turned 2 days late with the permission of the instructor will be penalized by deducting 10 points (20%) from the final score. Permission for late submission will not be granted for more than 1 assignment per student during the semester.
- The exams, both midterm and final, cannot be made up, regardless of the reason for absence..
Grading and Regrades
All components (assignments and exams) will generally be returned graded to the students within one week of the date of submission. Any regrade requests should be handed in within 5 working days after the graded component is returned back to the students. No regrade request will be entertained after that. Students are responsible for collecting their grades from the instructor if, for some reason, they are not in class when a graded component is returned.
Midterm Grade
The instructor will assign a midterm grade to each student based on their performance in assignments exams till the midterm. The midterm grade is an unofficial score to give the students feedback on their performance in the class.
