Policies
- There will be one final project, worth 80% of your grade. There will be no midterm or final exam.
- The remaining 20% will be devoted to class participation. Each lecture will cover a specific topic and one or two papers. Students will be encouraged to post on the discussion forum comments on the papers/topic after the lecture. The first 10 mins of next lecture will be devoted to a group discussion and we will use the forum posts to drive the conversation. The participation grade will be based on the posts and the involvement in the class discussions.
