You are expected to meet regularly with your team. This includes participating in sprint kickoffs, sprint demos, and in-class working sessions. Your participation grade will be calculated at the end of the term, and will be based on project data (e.g. your relative contribution) and attendance (e.g. did you attend and participate through the term).
Quizzes are a review of the lecture material and need to be done individually. See the quizzes pages for details.

Failing to attend a demo will result in a grade of zero for that component IN ADDITION to any penalty to your participation grade. Under exceptional circumstances e.g. coop interview, documented illness, you may be excused from a demo without penalty, as long as you coordinate with your team and the instructor ahead of time. ↩ ↩︎
