 Student Assessment-

Students will be given ten (10) points when they e-mail the instructor the slides they make for homework if the slides are filled with quality information and are organized in a good format.  At the end of the unit the presentation will also be judged for quality information and format.  See the assessment page for more detailed information on the grading criteria.
