Class place and times

Final time: 10:15am-12:15pm Friday May 8

Grading is either (1/3 project, 2/9 midterm, 4/9 final) or (1/3 project, 1/6 first midterm, 1/6 second midterm, 1/3 final exam). Class performance on the first midterm will determine whether there is a second midterm. Grading of the project is dominated by the quality of the final turn in, not the intermediates, but people who do not turn in intermediate stages tend to not turn in good projects at the end of term, since they denied themselves the chance for feedback and improvement, and get no sympathy.

Note: you can turn in homeworks late. I'd prefer it if you're on time, but I won't get picky when there's 4 of you.
