Attendance

Attendance is required. To pass the course you must attend at least 80% of lectures. Excessive absence will result in administrative withdraw.

Grading

The grade is determined by homework and assignments. There is no written exam.

Grade	Total Score
A	90 or above
B	80 or above
C	70 or above
F	Otherwise

Where the university can, it is providing a Pass/Fail option in case there are circumstances and/or challenges students are encountering related to the ongoing pandemic that might make a Pass/Fail option a better option. If students are not remaining with the default letter grade method for any of their courses, they must select the Pass/Fail grading method for each course individually. This selection is made toward the end of the semester. Once a student selects the option for a Pass/Fail grading method for a particular course, that decision is not reversible regardless of their performance on remaining assignments or final exams.
