Arias/Fischer - Designing the Information Society of the Next Millennium, Fall 1997

Based on our discussion in class (Monday, Sept 15) and on our statement on the course syllabus, the following grading policy will be used for this course .

Grades will be based on:

1. an active and meaningful participation in class - this will be measured primarily by the quality of the contributions, not by the quantity (obviously zero quantity does not indicate any quality)

1. contributions to any other course activities which lead to the attainment of an enriched learning experience in the course, such as
   1. small assignments,
   2. preparation for the class debate,
   3. interesting, unsolicited contributions of relevance to the class

1. the quality of the process and outcomes of the semester project, and

1. a self-assessment of the student provided to the instructors at the end of the course.

Weight distribution

1. contributions of relevance (i.e. as mentioned in (1) and (2) above) 40 percent
2. semester project 30 percent
3. self-assessment 30 percent

Please: in case you have objections and/or suggestions to these grading policies

1. let us know by e-mail or
2. bring it up next time in class
