Handouts

You’d think the syllabus and schedule would provide all the info you need for a course, wouldn’t you? But I’ve found over the years that it can be helpful to provide additional information. To ensure that you read the information, I even give you an assignment. What else is there? Let’s see.

Teaching, grading, and such

On teaching and learning
A bit of philosophy (more or less)
Grading
More details on grading processes (and a bit on the underlying philosophy).
Learning assessments
Additional information on how I will assess your learning in the course.
Gradescope
A few notes on the grading platform we’re using.

Other important issues

Accommodations and adjustments
Policies and practices (and why I use two terms)
Accessibility of Web pages
Why I try to keep pages accessible and who to report to when they’re not.
Academic honesty
A long document that explains academic honesty in this course and in the discipline.

Learning assessments

First Sample Set of Learning Assessments
Sample learning assessments for the first SoLA.
Second Sample Set of Learning Assessments
Sample learning assessments for the second SoLA.
Third Sample Set of Learning Assessments
Sample learning assessments for the third SoLA. (Have you determined the pattern here?)
Four Sample Set of Learning Assessments
Sample learning assessments for the fourth SoLA. Also the last set of sample learning assessments. (The first SoLA introduces no new categories of learning assessments.)

Secondary topics

Some thoughts on electronic mail
While we’ll be using Teams, this page provides some details about how to best use electronic mail when dealing with me.

I’m not sure when this is from. I’ve kept it around for some reason. I made a few changes for this term, but not enough.

Some Scheme Stuff

The Zen of Booleans
Expressing some Boolean expressions more concisely.
SamR’s Style Guide for Racket
Opinions and expectations on what your code should look like.
