Guiding Principles of Grading in my class

Your grade should be determined by how well you understand physics, and nothing else.

Homework is practice, it should not affect your grade.

It doesn’t matter when you learn it, so long as you learn it.

Assessments must guide you on how to improve.

Assessments need to provide incentive for you to do the work required to improve.

(picked up from some great discussions on the internet.)
