Grading Policy Breakdown:
- Everyone is encouraged to both attend and participate in class. Hence, 5% of your grade will be determined by your attendance in class. Please attend class, and ask questions. Chances are if you're confused about something, other students are also confused about the same thing.
- We will have several 15-minute group quizzes every week or every other week in class. Students will be divided into randomly generated breakout groups on Zoom. Students in each breakout room are encouraged to discuss the problems with their classmates. At the end of the quiz, each student will upload their work on GradeScope.
- Worksheets, which will play the role of practice homework problems, will be uploaded online every week. The worksheet problems will be graded only for completion. Students are expected to upload their work on GradeScope.
