Textbook: None required.
Grading: Your grade will be based on participation; one midterm exam, on Thursday Feb 27, (subject to change with advance notice); and one project (includes presentation), in two stages, due Thursday April 10 and Thursday May 1. No final exam.
Participation: 20%,; Midterm 20%; Project: Stage 1: 10%, Stage 2: 50%
Attendance: You are responsible for everything that goes on in every class meeting, such as announcements, handouts, etc. This means even if you miss a class for a valid reason, it is your responsibility to contact me and find out what you missed.
Email: When necessary, I will make announcements via email, instead of in the classroom. I expect you to check your Oxy email at least once a day. Feel free to use our class email list, comp165-L at oxy dot edu, to send messages to everyone in the class.
Academic Honesty: I feel strongly about protecting honest and hard-working students against unfair and dishonest actions sometimes committed by a few. I don't give warnings; I refer all suspicious cases to the Judicial Examiner without hesitation.
Students with learning disability: Please see me and the CAE for any special arrangements.
