Grading
For the most part, we would prefer to teach this course without grades. What a wonderful concept, learning for learning sake! However, even though we can't change the "system" overnight, we can create grading policies that support learning as much as possible. The various course activities will contribute to your grade as follows:
Activity | Percentage of Total Grade |
---|---|
Weekly Homework | 50% |
Parcipitation in class discussions | 25% |
Reviewing each other's work | 25% |
