Project Makeup Credit

Some projects featured MAKEUP CREDIT which needs to be applied manually. If you lost points on one project but had makeup credit on another, manually redistribute credit. Example: P1 was 93 / 100, P2 was 110 / 100; enter P1: 100, P2: 100.

HW Grade Scoring

For HW grades, enter the total points up to 100 (best 10 / 12 HWs). Most HW quizzes are worth 10 points. Drop the lowest 2 scores and total the remaining HW scores with a max of 100. Note: Originally the calculator indicated there were 13 HWs but only 12 were offered.

Engagement Points

• Labs are worth 1 Engagement Point per completion. The total possible exercises is listed below. Partial credit may be assigned for some labs which should be added to the total completed. Some labs involve completing a Survey rather than code/quizzes.
  • 12 "Normal" Labs (Labs 01 to 12)
  • 1 Midterm Survey (week 5 on Canvas)
  • 1 Assembly Reflection (week 10 on Gradescop)
  • 1 Exit Survey on Canvas (week 15 on Canvas)
  • Total: 15 Labs / Surveys
• Bonus Engagement Points can be earned through other means such participation in lecture and the discussion board. Canvas will list a "Bonus Engagement Points" column with totals for these after the end of of the semester.
• Project Late Days: Engagement points are deducted for each day late a project is submitted. Canvas will list a "Project Late Days" column which should be subtracted from the total Engagement Points.
• Computed Engagement Points = Labs + Bonus - Late.
  Full credit is earned by obtaining 10 Engagement Points for 10%. Each point beyond this earns 0.25% in Bonus Credit.
