-A lot of material will be covered in this course. Students are expected to speak up in class with questions and observations they have about the material. Do not expect to be able to complete all assignments working on your own and without asking any questions. If you find yourself wondering what the next step is in finishing an assignment, please feel free to e-mail the instructor. You may also discuss assignments with other students, but your code and report must be written by you.

 ===== Grading ===== ===== Grading =====
  
-Details of the course grading policy will be posted here.+Your grade for this course will be based only on the assignments, most of which will require the submission of a jupyter notebook that includes text descriptions of your methods, results and conclusions and the python code for defining and applying AI algorithms.  Each notebook will be graded for correct implementation and results, interesting and thorough discussion, and good organization, grammar and spelling. No quizzes or exams will be given. 
 + 
 +We plan for about six regular assignments during the semester. In total these will count for 80% of your semester grade. The final assignment is a project designed by you and is worth 20% of your semester grade. These percents are summarized in the following list. 
 + 
 +  * 80% regular assignments, from 10% to 16% each 
 +  * 2% for the project proposal 
 +  * 18% for the project written report 
 + 
 +The calculation of the final letter grade, which will include + and -, will be based on the standard grading scheme, with A+, A, and A- being for grades of 90% and above, B+, B, and B- for grades between 80% and 90%, etc.  The minimum grade for each letter grade might be lowered, but will not be raised, based on the distribution of semester average grades for the class. 
 + 
 +Late assignment solutions will not be accepted, unless you make arrangements with the instructor at least two days before the due date.
