Assignment Schedule
In general, each week will follow the same schedule: you’ll have two assignments outside class, plus our meeting on Thursday. All deadlines are 11:59pm on the date listed.
10 points: An online worksheet is due Monday night at 11:59 p.m. It’s okay if you turn these in late — there’s no late penalty — but don’t fall behind on these! They’re rather long, and they provide important information about key course concepts.
25 points: A rough draft project assignment is due by Wednesday night at 11:59 p.m. (the night before class). We’ll be going over these in-class on Thursdays. If you need extra time on these, just let me know! As long as you’re communicating with me, there’s no late penalty. But whatever stage you’re at, I recommend turning in what you have so I can see your progress.
20 points: An in-class exit ticket on Thursday night. You’ll have time in class to do these, or you’ll use these to make up for missed class days.
(Revised Points): An optional revised draft is due by Friday night at 11:59 p.m. If you’re happy with your grade, no need to redo the work!
