#Assessment

This course is designed around your team project, and most activities are tied to the course project in some way. You will be assessed on both your individual work and the team project.

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. These must be completed individually.

Quizzes are hosted in Learn (Submit > Quizzes).
Each quiz opens on Monday at 10:00 AM, and stays open until Fri 11:59 PM.
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 (and before the Wed class).
Quizzes are open-book, meaning that you may refer to lecture slides and course materials. However, you are not permitted to collaborate or communicate with other students about the quiz content. You must complete quizzes on your own time, and without assistance.

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 at least one of these classes, and sign the attendance sheet, you will get the attendance mark for that week.

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