All members of a group will receive the same grade on group work. Therefore, it is in your interest to choose other group members whon have the same goal in the class as you do. It is also in your interest to work together and ensure that all tasks are completed effectively.
Your scores on group work may be adjusted based on your contribution.
Assignments must be turned in by the due date and time in order to contribute to your grade. Assignments will not be accepted late.
We will entertain questions about grades only for one week after they are posted in the grade database. Questions about assignment grades should be written and submitted to the staff via email.
Your scores on the various graded tasks in the class will be available over the web through your MyUW account. You need your UWNetID and password in order to get access. To configure MyUW, do the following.
