Deliverables

Grading

The grades will be based on the final work result (interactive prototype), its documentation, group presentation as well as class participation. Contributing to constructive group feedback is an essential aspect of class participation. Regular attendance is required. Two or more unexcused absences will affect the final grade. Arriving late on more than one occasion will also affect the grade.
