Grading will be based on a series of computer-based projects, planning-oriented homework, and at least two written tests (true/false, multiple choice, short answer) and class participation. Class participation means taking an active role in discussions, working with others in a teamwork environment, and seeking out and sharing information about current developments related to the subject matter. The design of this course requires that the student will devote
a minimum of one hour of effort outside the class for each hour
of in-class activity. The student is advised to carefully consider
this in determining whether they will be able to devote the
time necessary in order to meet the requirements of this course. Evaluation of student achievement and letter grade assignment
is in accordance with the following grading plan:
