Grades are neither given nor negotiated; they are earned.
There is no curve for this class. You earn points for meeting the various requirements of the course and are then assigned a grade accordingly.
A student must have a passing grade in each component of the class order to earn a passing grade for the course;
a failing average in any one component will result in a failing grade for the course regardless of the overall average.

Assignments
- Assignments are due on the dates and times given in the Calendar of Exams and Due Dates. Assignments handed in late will be assessed a late penalty equal to 20% of the grade for every business day for which the project is late. Thus a project due Monday at 10:00 am and handed in Monday night at 6:00 pm is one business day late. This project will earn 80% of its full mark.

If the Emergency Dean issues a letter verifying the your absence was due to circumstances beyond your control and verified by the Dean's Office, either the instructor can permit a make-up exam or the the cumulative final exam will be pro-rated accordingly, at the discretion of the instructor.
