 <p>The graded components of this class will be homeworks, projects, peer-grading, and participation. Each week either a homework, a project, or a peer-grading is due. Homeworks will be relatively short visualization problems to be solved by the student, usually involving some small amount of programming to achieve a specified goal. They are graded by the TA. Projects are larger and more involved data analysis problems that involve both programming and writing. They are peer-graded by the students. Students will have at least one week to complete each homework and two weeks to complete each project. The submission deadlines for homeworks and projects will be Thursdays at 11pm.</p>
-<p>There will be seven homeworks and three projects. Both homeworks and projects need to be submitted electronically on Canvas. Homeworks are worth 20 points and projects are worth 100 points. The lowest-scoring homework will be dropped, so that a maximum of 120 points can be obtained from the homeworks.</p>
-<p>Projects are peer-graded, which involves evaluating three projects by other students according to a detailed grading rubric that will be provided. The final grade for each project is the mean of the peer-graded projects, subject to oversight and potential grade correction (up or down, as warranted) by the TA. The peer-grading itself will also be graded by the TA. Experience has shown that peer-grading is often the most instructive component of this class, so don’t take this lightly.</p>
-<p>Participation is assessed in two ways. First, students will receive 2 points for every lecture they attend. This is tracked via simple quizzes on Canvas. Second, each week students can receive up to 4 points for making substantive contributions to the Canvas online discussion (2 points per contribution). Total participation points are capped at 52 (13 weeks of class times 4 points), so students can compensate for lack of in-person attendance by participating in discussions and vice versa. <strong>You do not have to get full points in both in-person attendance and online discussions.</strong> No participation is assessed in the first week of class.</p>

+<p>Participation is assessed via lecture attendance. Students will receive 1 point for every lecture they attend, up to a maximum of 20 points. (This means students can miss up to six lectures throughout the semester without receiving any grade penalty.) Attendance is tracked via simple quizzes on Canvas. No participation is assessed in the first week of class.</p>
