Design Some Details for a Proposed Market Building
The homework assignments are 90% of your grade. 10% of your grade is class participation.
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the date indicated. Late homework gets a lower grade, and it will go to the ‘back of the line’ for marking behind work that is turned in on time.
Submit homework out of class is by either .pdf format to Jennifer McGrory or by hard copy in Jennifer’s school mail box.
Unexcused absences are grounds for receiving a failing grade
