(aka Weekly In-Person Assessments)
We use the tutorial slots for light in-person assessments. The purpose is for us (and you) to verify that you are keeping pace with the required learning, even if you are delegating some work to AI. We still call them tutorials though, for convenience.
- The assessment is primarily an in-tutorial quiz, administered through Zoom chat.
- The scope of the topics and the tasks covered so far.
- No special preparation is needed. Just doing the weekly tasks sincerely is enough.
- Performance is counted towards participation marks. So yes, it is a VERY light assessment.
Grading: The in-tutorial quiz is not graded for correctness. Just a sincere attempt is enough to pass. More specifically, you need to make a on at least total-2 in the tutorial to pass. e.g., if the session has 7 graded questions, you need to attempt at least 5.
You need to in at least 7 (out of 9) tutorials to avoid losing participation marks.
The buffer of 2 tutorials covers absences (or low participation) due to any reason, including valid reasons such as an MC and 'not-so-valid' ones such as 'my alarm glitched'. So, if you missed 3 tutorials but only 2 are covered by valid reasons, the marks deduction still applies. We can consider waiving the deduction only if you have valid reasons covering more than 2 tutorials.
