### Assessment
52+
53+
#### Assignments and Workload
54+
55+
The weekly workload for this course will vary by student and by week
56+
but should be about 12.5 hours per week on average. The following
57+
table provides a rough estimate of the distribution of time over
58+
different course components for a 16 week semester, as well as
59+
detailing the type, amount, and relative value of all assignments.
60+
61+
TBD.
62+
63+
#### Grading
64+
65+
Your final grade is based on a weighted average of particular
66+
assignment categories. You can estimate your current grade based on
67+
your scores and these weights. You may always visit the instructor
68+
outside of class to discuss your current standing. Assignments and
69+
final grades use a standard grading scale shown below and will not
70+
be curved except in rare cases when deemed necessary by the
71+
instructor.
72+
73+
{{ site.data.policies.gradescale_std_v1 }}
74+
75+
You are always welcome to challenge a grade that you feel is unfair or
76+
calculated incorrectly. Mistakes made in your favor will never be
77+
corrected to lower your grade. Mistakes made not in your favor will be
78+
corrected. *Basically, after the initial grading your score can only
79+
go up as the result of a challenge.*
80+
81+
Lab and homework assignments are graded on a simple 3 point scale,
82+
marked with (in decreasing order) a check-plus, check, or check
83+
minus. Your final grade for these two assignment categories is then
84+
based on the respective averages.
85+
86+
Your participation grade is based on a variety of activities, but
87+
especially daily use of Socrative for in-class question and answer
88+
sessions. Questions will cover portions of the text that were assigned
89+
as reading and will range from simple checks to see if the reading was
90+
done to more challenging questions that follow from a close
91+
examination of the reading. For the most part, the only requirement
92+
is to provide an answer to every question and participate in the
93+
resultant discussions. On occasion, questions will be evaluated for
94+
their correctness and performance on 3 these questions will also
95+
factor into the course participation grade. Students who do the
96+
reading and start the homework as soon as possible will have very
97+
little to worry about.
98+
99+
While there is no strict attendance policy, the course participation
100+
grade is based in large part on engagement with socrative. Absent
101+
students cannot participate in socrative sessions. Students should
102+
avoid unexcused absences, as defined in the college-wide absence
103+
policy. Whenever possible, let the instructor know of the absence
104+
before it occurs. When unexcused absences do occur, it is the
105+
student's responsibility to make up for the lost class time and to
106+
seek the permission of the instructor to hand-in or complete
107+
assignments that are late due to an unexcused absence.
108+
109+
This course is designed around the assumption that students engage in
110+
new ideas *before* they're covered in class meetings. This means doing
111+
assigned reading, taking a stab at homework problems, and as a result
112+
coming to class and lab with some understand about a new idea or, just
113+
as likely, with a host of questions about something encountered in the
114+
reading and homework. Not attending class, skipping lab, and putting
115+
off work to the point that an extension is needed are signs that a
116+
student isn't holding up their end of the bargain and is not prepared
117+
to participate in class.
118+
119+

### Schedule
134+
The following **tentative** calendar should give you a feel for how
135+
work is distributed throughout the semester. Assignments and events
