 ===== Project Work: Events & Deliverables =====
-The term will consist of three major events. On “Pitch Day” (Monday Nov. 30, 10:00-12:00), each student team will present their game idea to the class and receive feedback from a panel of judges. On “Prototype Day” (Monday Dec. 7, morning), each student team will conduct an evaluation of a working prototype of their interactive experience with their peers as test participants.  On “Demo Day” (Tuesday Dec. 15, evening), each student team will present their finished demo and run a station where guests can play their game.

 During weeks 2 and 3 of classes (Nov. 30 to Dec. 11) each student team is expected to post brief daily progress updates using the course project tracking software. Each update is due by 7:00 on the weekday following the period of work covered (e.g., 7:00 on Wed for work done on Tue).

 Before Prototype Day, each team is expected to write and submit a Testing Plan (due by 17:00 on Dec. 4). **NB**: Any team that fails to submit their Testing Plan on time will be eligible to receive at most half of the maximum grades for both the Test Plan and Prototype Day.
-After Demo Day, each student is expected to write and submit a Post-Mortem that gives their personal account of working on their team’s game (due by 23:59 on Dec. 18). Late submissions of Post-Mortems will incur a penalty of 15% per day including weekends and holidays.

+=====Attendance======
+Please note that attendance during both morning and afternoon sessions is required (LHÍ students with conflicts on Tue and Wed mornings are excused for those sessions). Please inform the instructors if this is hard for you for some reason, such as scheduling conflicts or sick leave.
+=====Participation Grade=====
+Participation grade will be based on attendance in the afternoons. To the extent possible, this will also be based on how actively the student participates in in-class discussion (based on the instructors' subjective assessment).
+The base participation grade will be calculated as 15 * (proportion of afternoons attended). The instructors can then add possible bonus points to this base grade based on a subjective evaluation of the student's participation throughout the semester (into which class discussions may factor).
+=====Grading=====
+For RU students, the table below will be used to calculate 100% of their grade for the 3-week course. For LHÍ students, the table below will be used to calculate a portion of the grade for their 5-week course at LHÍ.
