Here are the components and their weights:
All teams should stay for the entire 110 minutes during each week of Practicals. If a student arrives more than 20 minutes late (ie later than 30 minutes past the hour), then he or she is counted as absent for that day. If a student leaves more than 10 minutes early, he or she is counted as absent for that day.
Cube of Absences Rule: Attendance at the Practical is vital for your learning. If you do not attend, you will be letting down your team-mates. The Practicals mark (worth 20% of the course mark) will be converted to a mark out of 100. The number of absences each student has will be cubed and deducted from this total out of 100. Effectively, this means that one absence generates a 1% penalty in Practicals mark. Two absences generates an 8% penalty. Three absences generates a 27% penalty, etc.
If You Have Time Activities (IYHT): IYHT Activities should not be attempted by any teams until they have spoken to a TA and obtained permission. For each Notebook Mark which counts, one IYHT activity will be randomly selected along with the regular activities. Teams that did well on the chosen IYHT get a 0.5-point bonus, while teams that didn't do it or tried but didn't do well on it get no bonus points.
