Assessment Part 1

Course Assessment and Expectations

There are no midterm or final exams. The relationship between each assignment and the learning outcomes is noted in the full descriptions of each assignment. Students will receive feedback on each assignment, and due to the short time frame, all assignments are expect to be handed in on time. This seems like a lot to get through in four weeks, but a lot of the assignments work together and many are group work to spread the effort across more than one person. Students are expected to attend all class time unless there is an emergency or you are sick, in which case you must email the instructor so they can support you in completing the course.

Late assignments policy: 5% grade reduction per late day for 3 days, no assignments accepted after 3 days late. Late assignments are only accepted for those first 3 days if you give your instructors notice that they will be late.

Plagiarism and Citation Policy: You must cite all work and ideas that are not your own. Plagiarism will not be tolerated. You may use any citation style you like, but it must be consistent. Plagiarism will result in a 0% on that assignment.

General Instructions for Written Work:

• Use Times New Roman or other clear font style;
• Use 12 pt font for paragraph text, and no more that 14 pt font for headings;
• Keep normal margins (the default in Word: 2.54cm all around);
• Use page numbers for all writing that exceeds 1 page;
• If group work, ensure that all group member names are at the top of the document;
