| 10/20 | Clicker participation : class vote says 5% of course grade, two free classes without any participation will still receive full credit, graded on participation only, not correctness. (Clicking for friends is not counted, and in fact, will be reported as cheating.) |
| 10/26 | Project updates due tomorrow (Thursday, October 27) in class. Lecture to be held in 3110 Etcheverry Hall. |
| 11/02 | b-Space gradebook has exam & homework 1-6 scores and late homework 1-6 info recorded. For late HW, a "1" means that homework was received late. The actual HW scores will not be adjusted until the final grade is calculated, and only if you have >1 late HW. (In that case, I take 50% off the lowest late HW score(s) so that your total HW score is maximized.) Please let us know if anything was recorded incorrectly. |
| Other than the gradebook, b-Space displays the exact same info as the regular webpage because it links to it, so you don't need to check both places. | |
| 11/23 | Prof. McMains will hold extended office hours Monday Nov 29, 3-5pm & Monday Dec 5, 3-5pm, for project questions and discussions. |
