Grades will be determined using straight percentages.  Class participation will be used as a criteria to make decisions about borderline grades. This is a graduate class so I will not take attendance and I will assume that if you miss class that you have a valid reason.   If you know in advance that you will miss several classes, please let me know. I will also assume that you are familiar with the student code of conduct, particularly as it applies to academic issues.
