Grading

The largest contribution to your grade will be the course project (40%), in which you will work in small groups to design, implement, and evaluate a user interface.

Problem sets and homeworks will be assigned periodically, and will constitute 25% of your grade.

There will be one quiz, given during class time, which counts for 30% of your grade.  See the Course Calendar for the dates. There will be no final exam.

This is a graduate class, and we will be reading and discussing research papers.  Preparation, attendance, and participation in class will also be a factor in your grade (5%)!

Course project  40% 
Problem sets and homeworks  25%

Collaboration Policy

You may freely discuss assignments with other people, but you are expected to be intellectually honest and give credit where credit is due.
