Problem sets will be evaluated on a complete/incomplete basis. Although the problem sets will not be assigned a letter grade, they are a central focus of the course and completing them will support your mastery of the material in multiple ways. Working through them on schedule will also make it possible for you to participate in the synchronous course meetings and online discussions of course material effectively. Your ability to do so will figure prominently in your participation grade for the course (see the section on grading and assessment below). | Problem sets will be evaluated on a complete/incomplete basis.

==== Working groups ==== | |||
At the start of the course you will be assigned to a small working group. This will be a group of 2-3 students (exact numbers will depend on the final enrollment) with whom you will meet outside of class time to discuss, complete, and/or review your weekly assignments (as well as some of the research project assignments). The groups will rotate at least once during the quarter to ensure that you get to work with different members of the class. The main idea is to support collaborative learning, peer support, and accountability. While the specifics of exactly when and how you work with your working group will largely be up to you, the teaching team will provide suggestions and a template that you can use as a starting point. | |||
