Grading is based on the final project, exercises, tests, participation in the
class online Discussions, and attendance. 200 points equals a perfect grade. Here is
the percentage breakdown on how grades are calculated.

- 40% - Final project is worth 200 points - final projects are not accepted late.
- 30% - The ten Exercises are worth 15 points each - exercises are not accepted late.
- 10% - Tests - We will have ten weekly online Blackboard tests, they will be worth 5 points each. Test content will correspond to the week's lesson.
- 10% - Participation in the Discussions - 1 point for each thoughtful question, and 1 points for each thoughtful
answer, for a total of up to 50 points - no points awarded after class
#13, or for posts to the non class topics forum.
- 10% - Attendance - Each student starts
with 50 points, and loses 10 points for each unexcused absence after two
absences.

Although the final project has the majority of the available points,
ignoring any of the elements of the class has the possibility of dropping
your total by a whole grade. The keys to getting a top grade in this class
are simple: show up, turn in the assignments on time, participate, and have fun
with the final.
