Reading

There is no text. We will read papers.

Web page

Many of the materials for this course (including this page) are available on http://www.cs.duke.edu/courses/fall07/cps018s/

Bulletin Board

You should regularly read the bulletin board as it may contain announcements, hints, and information relevant to this class.

Collaboration

Most of the work in this course will be done in groups, but before or after class you may be asked to prepare some work that is individual. For example, you will need to maintain a web page for this course. Work that is to be done individually should be your own work.

Grading

Class participation is required for this course. Almost all the work is done in groups. You cannot participate if you are not in class.

class participation	20%
classwork	50%
preclass work/homework	30%

Grading is done on an absolute, but adjustable scale. This means that there is no curve. Anyone earning 90% or more of the total number of points available will receive a grade in the A range (A+,A,A-); 80% = B, 70% = C, 60% = D. This scale may go down, but it will not go up.
