Assignments, Points and Quills
This class is a one-term class, and offers up to 300 points. Each assignment will be worth 60 points - 30 points for Homework and 30 points for Extra Credit. The Final will be worth 60 points. In order to pass the class and earn a quill you must earn at least 150 points.
Due Dates
All assignments are due on the 15th of January for the fall term and the 15th of June for the spring term at 11.59 HOL time. Assignments sent in after this point will unfortunately not be graded.
Do I have to be good at Math to take this class?
Absolutely not. This class does not require that you are any good at maths, though it is my hope that you will understand the themes we discuss in the lessons a little better once we are done with them. Everything will be explained though and you don't have to be good at maths to take this class. And should you have any issues with anything, I am truly more than happy to provide extra explanations and help.
Measurements
All measurements in this class will be given as metric measurements. Decimals will be expressed by using commas (,) and large numbers will be split by a dot (.) or nor at all.
Example:
1.234 = One thousand two hundred and thirty-four
1,234 = One point two hundred and thirty-four
Example:
1.234 = One thousand two hundred and thirty-four
1,234 = One point two hundred and thirty-four
Accessibility
I've done my best to ensure that there are enough options for all assignments to be able to achieve 60 points per assignment. Should this not be the case, you can contact me and we will figure something out that works for you. If there were options from a previous assignment that you did not do, but are able to do as a replacement for an activity in the current assignment, you may also choose to do those without asking me. Simply make a note of it in your assignment so I know what you're doing.
