-===== Grades =====
-The weight distribution of the course components is as follows:
-  *30%  -- Weekly Labs/Quizzes.
+====== Missing deadlines ======
-    * You are required to attend each Lab hour.
-    * You must submit completed Lab work each week, starting with Lab1, to receive a grade on the lab/quiz of that week.
-    * Most (or all) weeks there will be a mandatory Quiz in each Lab hour. Quizzes will be on PVS work done in Labs from prior weeks, required readings from REMH and the lectures. You must submit the completed Lab work and then take the Quiz to receive a grade.
-    * It is likely that there will be 9 quizzes. Each Quiz will count for at least 3% and some for 4%.
-  *10%  -- Assignment
-  *20%  -- Project
-  *40%  -- Exam
-====== Grading Procedures ======
+  * If you miss a Labtest, the Assignment, the Project or the Test, then your grade is an F.
-You can view your marks
+  * The Assignment and the Project are handed out well in advance of the due date. Thus you are expected to meet the deadline (unless there is a documented lengthy illness).
-[[https://www.eecs.yorku.ca/~roumani/ePost/server/ep.cgi?year=2016-17&term=F&course=4312|here]].
-You have one week from the time a grading unit is handed back to you to ask for it to be marked again. Within the one week period **submit your grading unit to the instructor after class and attach to it a document precisely describing your concerns**. This will be returned to the TA who graded that unit. Once a TA has had a chance to review your concerns, they will inform you of the results. Once you have handed in the paper version, you may email the TA for a meeting as well, or see them during office hours. **The discussion will be limited to the issues raised in your written submission**. If you are still not satisfied, arrange for a joint meeting with the TA and the course instructor.
+  * If you miss a weekly Labtest, your grade will be an F -- unless the official York __attending physician's statement__ is filled out in detail and the physician certifies that you were unable to write due to illness at the time of the Labtest. You must inform the instructor immediately that you cannot write the Labtest, and you must immediately email the Physician's statement to the instructor. Alternative arrangements for the Labtest (perhaps an oral exam) will then be made.
-For each grading unit you are assigned a raw mark score that ranks you in the class. Also, you will be provided with a mapping from your raw mark score to a letter grade. The raw mark score is not a grade as it is merely used to rank you in the class (so, e.g. a raw mark score of 76 might be a C, not a B+, after the mapping is applied). The mapping will be supplied to you at the same time that your assignment is handed back to you. The final grade is computed from the raw mark scores and maps as shown [[http://www.cs.yorku.ca/course_archive/2004-05/W/3311/grades/marking_policy.htm|here]].
+====== Re-grading ======
-The meaning of the letter grades assigned by the mapping is given[[http://www.yorku.ca/secretariat/policies/document.php?document=87|here]].
-You must complete and hand in the project to obtain a grade for the course.
+If you have any issues with your grade, whether on your Labs, Quizzes, Lab Reports, etc, please print out your feedback, add your name and Prism login, write down clearly and precisely where and what your grading issues are, and hand the feedback to your instructor. This must be done within one week from the date the grades are announced. Your request must spell out the relevant part or section of the assignment what grade you did get, and what you feel your grade should be for that part.
+If you want your Quiz, Assignment, or Project regraded, then within one week of receiving the feedback do the following:
+  * Write out precisely and concisely your concerns.
+  * Staple your written concerns to your feedback document
+  * Return the above to the instructor within one week of receiving your feedback.
+Your written concerns will be returned to the TA who graded that unit. Once a TA has had a chance to review your concerns, they will inform you of the results. The discussion will be limited to the issues raised in your written submission. If you are still not satisfied, arrange for a joint meeting with the TA and the course instructor.

-Missing a Quiz, Assignment, or Project will result in a score of zero -- unless the official York [[http://wiki.cse.yorku.ca/course_archive/2009-10/F/4312/_media/attending_physician_statement.pdf|attending physician's statement]] is filled out and submitted by the due date of the assignment. The Assignment and Project are handed out well in advance, so only an extended and serious illness will have an accomodation.
