Participation
You can earn lecture participation credit by attending lecture on time and doing a lecture participation exercise. Instructions will be given during lecture.
These will be done on paper and you need to bubble in your student number.
- You must provide your student number to get credit. Failure to do so will not earn credit.
- For lecture participation exercises, given N total exercises only N-6 will be counted. You can miss 6. No extensions, excused absences, or weight transfers are possible. See the outline for more information.
- Entering answers for someone else will be considered a violation of the SAIP.
- See the outline section on contract cheating for more information.
Participation Exercises are marked as follows:
Given N total exercises, count the number of sufficiently complete exercises (M), calculate percent exercises as 100% * M / (N - 6).
- Failure 0: Write less than 50% of exercises
- Unsatisfactory 4: Write more than or equal to 50% of exercises
- Satisfactory 6: Write more than 60% of exercises
- Good 7: Write more than 70% of exercises
- Excellent 8: Write more than 80% of exercises
If you participate enough in discussion you can get 1 bonus mark to your participation grade (not exceeding 7). You only get credit for participation in your own section.
