The components of the final grade are the following:
 
70% Daily projects (~30; drop two)
20% Research project (30% annotated bibliography, 70% actual project)
10% Final exam

Late work: No work will be accepted after the first 5-10 minutes of class on the day that it is due.  If you miss this deadline, feel free to just count it as one of the two projects that you can drop during the semester with no penalty (see above for details). No exceptions.
