Attendance during lectures is voluntary but strongly advised. Participation in tutorials is obligatory. You may miss one session, but your tutorial instructor may ask you to complete an additional assignment to make up for the missed session. Students who miss more than one session without valid reasons will have a penalty of half a grade point applied to their final grade.
## What is my grade based on?
Assessment in this class is based on three assignments:
1. Your research report on a data walk (30 percent).
2. Your group contribution to the Hacking Ethnography collection (pass/fail, 20 percent).
3. Your answers to essay questions relating the course content to _Dealing in Desire_ (50 percent).
We will discuss all three assignments during tutorials.
## Can I redo any of the assignments?
In accordance with Institute and Faculty policies, you can redo an assignment if your overall grade is lower than 5.5. Your revised assignment will need to be a noticeable improvement over your original assignment to be considered for an improved grade. Be sure to incorporate any feedback provided on your first attempt.
Revised assignments will be due within two weeks after the grades for assignment 3 have been published. If you decide to redo an assignment at that point, please let the course coordinator know as soon as possible which one you intend to redo.
## How should I format my assignments?
Assignments 1 and 3 should follow the Institute's Style Guide, employ consistent references, and include a list of works cited. Aim to write clear prose, and use paragraphs and subheadings to organize your writing. Use your creativity in assignment 2---no formal criteria apply (though you should still make sure to credit your sources!).
