Cogs 160 Grading Policy

• Discussion leading (20%): one week (two lectures) a quarter, sign up on wiki
• An alternative to discussion leading (20%), since we have more students than weeks in the quarter, is that you propose and create a wiki page on a topic related to the class, with text, images, references, and movies (as needed). It should have style and quality appropriate for submitting to Wikipedia (so it should not be redundant with existing Wikipedia material). Proposals must be pre-approved by Prof. Yu, and submitted by Friday 04/22. The wiki page itself is due on Friday 05/27 at the latest. Inclue motivation and relevance to course material, as well as a detailed outline, in the proposal. Please take your name off of the discussion leading schedule if you choose this option.
• Participation (10%): read papers and submit questions before class
• Weekly assignments (45%): due following Friday by email, max 1 page, double-spaced, PDF
• Take-home final (25%): due 06/07 by email, max 2 pages, double-spaced, PDF
• Extra credit (20%): bonus question in assignments

• Late policy: 20% penalty per day (including weekends and holidays)
• Policy on Academic Integrity: do your own writing, plagiarism will not be tolerated!
• Classroom: no laptop or smart phone (unless directly related to class)
