Exercise Marks

As discussed in class, Exercises will be marked as follows.

1) Each Exercise will be marked out of 1. Adequate completion of an exercise will result in a mark of 1; inadequate completion of an exercise will result in a mark of 0. At Tori and I's discretion, you may receive a mark of 1/2 if you adequately complete some but not all of an Exercise.

2) Exceptional completion of an Exercise will result in a bonus marks. The magnitude of these bonus marks will be at Tori and I's discretion. It is expected that bonus marks will be rare.

3) Exercises will be weighted relative to one another at the end of the term, to reflect their relative time commitment. For example, an Exercise that takes most students 4 hours will be assigned approximately 4 times as much weight as an Exercise that takes most students 1 hour.

4) Exercises constitute 20% of your final grade. With sufficient diligence, all students are capable of being awarded a perfect aggregate score on the Exercises. Bonus marks will not used to elevate your aggregate score beyond perfect.

5) Exercises may not be submitted late for any reason other than a documented illness.

5) You will not receive regular feedback on Exercise results. An anonymous list of aggregate scores to date will be posted to the blog before Week 8.
