A full syllabus will appear here soon, but for now here are our expectations about some important course dates. These dates are projected, and may change according to course needs.

You are responsible for checking the official CMU final exam schedule and immediately notifying instructors of all affected courses about any conflicts.

Here is a tentative, approximate grading breakdown. Since we are using a new project infrastructure this semester, we may need to adjust this based on our experience.

In addition, your weighted project average and weighted exam average must each be a passing grade in order to pass the course.

Policy on Late Work Greg Kesden's 412 late policy seems plausible, so here it is:

Each student may grant himself or herself an extension on any homework assignment or project deadline/checkpoint -- but only four (4) days worth of extensions are available during the course of the semester under this policy. Possible configurations include turning in each project one day late, turning in each homework assignment one day late, turning in two projects each two days late, &c.

To grant yourself an extension under this policy, send mail to de0u+late@andrew.cmu.edu.

A word about grading multi-person projects: It is our intent that part of the P3 grade will be based on a face-to-face interview process. We reserve the right to give partners in a group different project grades if circumstances make that necessary. The same will probably be true of Project 4.
