There will be regular homework assignments consisting primarily of reading and evaluating relevant research papers. Participants will also be responsible for presenting and leading discusion on relevant research papers. As a final project, participants will be required to 1) write an original visualization proposal motivated by some topic covered during the semester and 2) perform the work/study described in the proposal, producing a final report.

There will be reading assignments prior to almost every meeting. A formal evaluation of each reading assignment must be turned in at the beginning of the class period on the due date in order to receive full credit. No credit will be given for late evaluations. Participants will also be expected to participate in discussions of the reading assignments.

A detailed point breakdown will be given later in the semester for the final project.

Grades will not be curved. You will receive the grade that you have earned. N.B. If you want to receive a passing grade, then you must earn it during the semester. There will not be any extra credit assignments.

Cheating Policy

Cheating is defined as giving or receiving unauthorized aid on an assignment, quiz, test or project, or not documenting an outside source of information should one be used. It is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. All offenses will be reported to the dean in accordance with the Carolina Community student handbook.

Outside of assigned teams, students are expected to do their own work. While discussion of general aspects of the material is encouraged, collaborative efforts outside of assigned teams are grounds for receiving a failing grade. Academic sanctions are as follows. For the first cheating offense a student will be docked twice the number of points that assignment is worth. So for example a student cheats on a 10 point quiz, that student will receive a -20 as a grade on that quiz. For the second offense the student will receive an F as a grade for the course.
Note: If the cheating offense is on a project, then the student will receive an F as a grade for the course even if this is the first offense.
