- Student Expectations/Requirements and Grading Policy: Students will be evaluated using in-class exams (paper-based or on computer), projects and case study assignments. They will also be evaluated on their attendance as well as participation to in-class and online learning activities. Each student will be allowed one unexcused absence. If a student is absent more than once, each absence will reduce the student’s final grade by three points.
Assignment 20%
Projects 30%
Mid-term Exam 20%
Final Exam 30%
