Grading

 

 

Each assignment will be given a single letter grade.  Criteria on which the letter grade is based will be listed for each assignment, and the graders will write comments related to the criteria as needed.

 

In-class exercises will be graded as A (full participation), C (poor participation), or E (absent).

 

Missed exercises or assignments receive a grade of E.
