You will be evaluated based upon the quality of your work in completing the course requirements mentioned above. You will have five final grades: one averaged grade for the quiz, attendance, and participation. Each of the 4 projects count as the other four of the final grades. Therefore, each project is worth 20% of your final grade while each of the other elements, quiz, attendance and participation, is worth about 6.66% of your final grade. One of the projects may be revised for a higher grade. Revisions are due two weeks before the final project is due.
Please note: There will be no final examination.
