assignment that is assigned based on performance relative to peers Lecture Viewing Quizzes Lectures are recorded and the videos will be posted on Youtube 2 I do not have a way to take attendance during Zoom lectures I also recognize that many students live in distant time zones which makes attending lecture impractical To reward students who watch the lectures each lecture will have a corresponding lecture viewing quiz The lecture viewing quiz will be multiple choice questions with choices A B C D E During each lecture I will provide the answers to the viewing quiz audibly at arbitrary times in the lecture Please make sure you complete the lecture viewing quiz after each lecture Students will not nd the answers to the quizzes in the lecture notes It is a violation of course policy to share the answers to the viewing quiz Weekly Gradescope Quizzes There will be 4 quizzes None of the quiz scores will be dropped Quizzes are open book and open note Quizzes are intended to be low stakes opportunities to test your learning Students cannot discuss the quiz with anyone other than the professor or TA Lab Assignments There are ve lab assignments None of the lab assignments are dropped Lab assignments involve working with real data and applying lecture concepts to the data Instructions for the labs are covered in section Late policy for lab assignments Deadlines are based on time in Los Angeles California If you live in a di erent time zone you are still expected to submit the assignments by the deadline in California Please be aware of what time these deadlines are for you There is a 10 minute grace period Submissions up to 10 minutes and 59 seconds late will be accepted with no penalty Assignments submitted 11 minutes late or more will be accepted with penalty There is a deduction of 5 points for being less than one hour late An additional 5 point deduction will be taken for each additional hour it is late Deductions are suspended between the hours of 12 00 AM and 5 59 PM the following day The penalties resume at 6 PM The maximum late penalty is 60 points So if an assignment is due at 6pm a homework assignment submitted on CCLE

inability to submit the homework on time Do not email …
