Grading: (see “What will we do in this class? (and how will we grade you?)”). Grades will be based on projects, assignments, and participation. Rather than thinking about it as additive parts (e.g. projects are 75%), think about it as multiplicative (project grade * assignment grade * participation grade + generosity factor).
