Quizzes
We have weekly quizzes for the first 10 weeks of the course. Quiz content is based entirely on material presented in lectures that week. You are responsible for all material presented, not just what is in the slides.
Quizzes are hosted in Learn (Submit > Quizzes). Each quiz opens on Fri at 6:00 PM, and includes the lecture material from the preceding week. It remains open until the following Fri at 6:00 PM (i.e. each quiz is open in Learn for a full week).
- Each quiz is 15 minutes in length. You are only allowed one attempt.
- Quizzes are open-book, meaning that you may refer to your notes while writing the quiz.
- Quizzes must be completed individually, without assistance. You are not permitted to collaborate or communicate with other students about the quiz content.
- We normally do not grant extensions for missed quizzes. See policies.
Participation
Everyone is expected to attend project demos and present their contribution. Participation marks are awarded for attending and actively participating in the process. Attendance is mandatory. See policies.
Team assessment
At the end of the course, teams members will rate each other’s performance through the term. This accounts for 5% of your grade. See team assessment for details.
