Graduate students with programming-oriented backgrounds will be graded based on the technical quality of the project, and on their interaction with non-programming project partner(s). Students working on the non-programming portion of the project will be graded, in part, on their contribution to their discipline, and on their ability to engage with their programming partner(s).
Grading will be on class participation, assignments (different ones for Appers and Programmers), the project proposal and plan, interim presentations and a final project report and presentation.
