# Course Policies Paper discussions are a core component of this course. Students are expected to read papers before lecture, attend lectures, and participate in discussions. ## Grading and Evaluation Grades will be assigned as follows: - **Discussions: 15%** (Pre-lecture questions and class participation) - **Paper presentation: 25%** - **Final project: 60%** (First and second milestones, and final writeup) ## Academic Integrity Pre-lecture questions should be done individually. The final project may be done individually or in groups of two students. Collaboration projects with people outside the class may be allowed, but must be approved by the instructor.
