COURSE DETAILS:
Grading
- Quests: 70%
- At the start of each lecture, with the exception of the first class, there will be a quest — an evaluation that is not quite a test, but more in depth than a quiz. These quests will evaluate your understanding of the lecture material covered in the previous class. At the end of the semester I will drop your lowest two quest marks. Thus, the remaining 10 quests will be worth 7% each.
- Final Paper: 30%
- The final paper is worth 30%. Detailed instructions will be provided in a separate document and reviewed in class.
- **Missed Quests Since the lowest two quest marks will be dropped, there will be no makeup quests.

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
