The grading scheme and schedule for the course is as follows.

Deliverable	Weight	Due	Note
Proposal	5%	Monday Nov 14 2016 9am	Via OnQ
First class session		Monday Jan 9 2017 9:30-11:30 am	sole in-class session

Presentation	20%	Creative Computing Day Thurday Apr 6 2017 (week 12)	Biosciences Atrium

There is 2-day grace period for the proposal, report, and work, but using it incurs a 10% penalty to the grade for that item. Missing the grace period will incur an F.

Each deliverable will be letter-graded, converted to percentages according to the following table, modified by any appropriate penalties, combined according to the weights given above, and the final total converted to letter grades according to the University's standard table:
