# Assessment

This course is designed around a single project that you will design and develop with your project team. Most activities are tied to the course project in some way. You will be assessed based on both your individual work, and the project that you collectively produce.

The course schedule lists the due dates for each component.

# Individual Grades (32%)

Grade items earned individually.

Item	What it addresses	Grade
Quizzes	Quizzes covering lecture content (weeks 2-11).	10 x 2% = 20%
Weekly attendance	Attending class, participating in activities (weeks 2-13).	12 x 1% = 12%

# Quizzes

You have weekly quizzes that you must complete during the term.

Quizzes are hosted in Learn (Submit > Quizzes).
Each quiz opens on Monday at 10:00 AM, and stays open until Wed 10:00 AM i.e. you have 48 hours to complete each quiz.
Each quiz is 15 minutes long, and you are only allowed one attempt.
Quizzes are based entirely on material presented in lecture videos and slides for the week. It's recommended that you write the quiz immediately after reviewing those materials.
Quizzes are open-book i.e. you may refer to slides and any notes that you may have taken during class. However, you are not permitted to collaborate or communicate with other students about the quiz content. You must complete quizzes on your own.

There are no extensions to the quiz deadlines! If you miss writing a quiz, you get a zero for that quiz. (The only exception is if you join the course too late to write the first quiz - see the instructor in this case).

# Weekly attendance

We will take attendance in Wed and Fri classes. If you attend one or more of these classes, and sign the attendance sheet, you will get the attendance mark for that week.

Your team mates are NOT allowed to sign you in - you must be physically present and sign the attendance sheet yourself to get these marks.
