Grading

Final course grades in CMPM 265 are comprised of the following elements. Note that final grades may deviate from this formula at the instructor's discretion.

Readings and Class participation. Attendance in class is required. When class periods involve discussion of readings, you are required to read the assigned readings ahead of time, and develop questions for class discussion based on these readings. Participation in discussion via engaged listening and conversation is expected.

Game Presentation, Generative Artist Presentation. Each student will give one presentation in class on a game making use of procedural content generation, and one presentation on a generative artist.

Homework. Multiple individual small projects will be assigned as homework during the quarter, as a way to develop hands-on proficiency with a range of generative methods.

Course elements have the following weightings:

Readings/Class participation: 20%

Game/generative artist presentation: 10%

Homework: 50%

Final project or final exam: 20%

You are required to receive a passing grade in all of the class elements (readings/partipation, homeworks, final project) in order to pass the class.
