| Grading Scale |
The grade for the course will be the total of the top five grades from each
type of quiz, plus the points from the GitHub account. No makeup quizzes.
If you miss one quiz, then it will be your low grade. The grade for the course
will be based on the following scale. The scale is based on the sum of your scores
on the quizzes and GitHub branch.
- Top 5 scores from the definition quizzes - 50 points
- Top 5 scores from the theory and examples quizzes - 100 points
- Participation in the GitHub repository - 30 points
Two additional quizzes will be given on the day of the final exam: one definition quiz
and one problem quiz. Questions for these quizzes will be from the entire course. These
quizzes can be used to replace a quiz from earlier in the semester.
