Grading policy

The final grade will be comprised of participation (10%), homework (20%), presentation (20%), and final project grades (50%).  The participation grade will be comprised of attendance and in-class presentations.  Final projects will be graded on the basis of a short report and in-class presentation to be given near the semester’s end.
