This class includes group work and individual assignments. On group projects, you are encouraged to work together on the activities for the class, but you are only only able to put your name on projects to which you made an intellectual contribution.

Any suspected cases of plagiarsm will be handled through Princeton University's honor code procedure, as outlined in Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities.
Princeton's official grading policy is described in the undergraduate announcement. I use the following grading scale, derived from Matt Salganik's grading practices.
All grades are final. There will not be any make-up or extra credit assignments offered.
Per university procedures, I will only give a grade of A+ in exceptional circumstances.
