The class will be conducted using the WoT wiki (log in required), and occasionally we will use moodle (log in required) for quizzes.

Student workwill be graded in the following ratio:

Homework is graded as 0 or 1, and all other work is graded on a 4 point scale: 4 = A, 3 = B, 2 = C, 1 = D, 0 = F.

Extra credit is awarded as additional points over 4 on projects.

"All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated.... No man is an island, entire of itself... and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." - John Donne, Meditations XVII, 1624
