To hand in for a grade. No homework will be accepted late without discussion with M. Kight. See also les formats et modalités. I use the conventional Haverford grading system, or sometimes a system of (adequate), (excellent), (unacceptable).

Note that while I may give you intermediary grades (3.5, 2.5), the Haverford system doesn't allow for them as final grades. Where possible, I round up, but whether that happens or not depends on the overall quality of your contribution, and my assessment of where you've gotten to from where you started. Usually, only a student whose work and participation are of exceptional quality will get a final 4.0 or 3.7. If you're interested in finding out towards what final grade you're heading, please see me.

In general, one can't produce quality without effort, but it's important to remember, too, that greater effort doesn't necessarily produce superior quality. You may work long and hard on an assignment but not be able to produce the "spark" that distinguishes a superb performance from a fine or an adequate one.
