Every class will begin with presentations, The presentations will be graded on a scale of 0,3,4,5 ranging from &#8216;nothing there&#8217; to &#8216;perfect&#8217;. At the end of the semester your grade on the presentations will be calculated as a percentage of the highest score in class. Priority for presentations will be given in reverse order to the points earned to that point.<\/p>\n<h3>Required Reading:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/discretetext.oscarlevin.com\/dmoi\/\">The online book is here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Required Department\/School dates and policies:<\/h2>\n<p>\uf0d8 Withdrawal dates for FULL-TERM courses are<br \/>\n\u2022 100% refund: Monday January 22<br \/>\n\u2022 50% refund: Thursday February 1<br \/>\n\u2022 Last Day for W: Friday March 30<br \/>\nFor eight-week courses, please check your Student Detail Schedule on the Student Hub for the withdrawal deadlines.<br \/>\n\uf0d8 Holiday information: Spring Break: March 16-25 (No classes, Campus Open)<br \/>\n\uf0d8 University Policies<br \/>\nStudents are responsible for full knowledge of the provisions and regulations pertaining to all aspects of their attendance at MSU Denver, and should familiarize themselves with the following policies:<br \/>\n1.
