Grading
[ Intro ]

Academic dishonesty will not be tolerated in any form.

Grading policy is subject to change per syllabus.
You must submit every paper and the term project/paper assignment to pass the class.
If you have an average >= 90% you will be assured an A. Otherwise your final grade depends on the performance of the class as a whole.
