Grading is done on a point-based system. Your grade will be based on a straight percentage of the points that you earn. The points, though, will be roughly distributed in with Tests and Projects ~= 80% and Homework and daily work ~= 20%. The final exam will be ~ 15% of the semester grade.

Homework will be given on an occasional basis depending on the topic.

Depending on the assignment, late work may or not be accepted. Some projects are time and group sensitive and cannot be made up. Many individual assignments, though, can be turned in late for credit. A zero, though, will be placed in the gradebook for assignments not turned in on time. For assignments that can be turned in late, the grade earned will be entered when the assignment is turned in.
