**Please Note: Students will be graded mostly as a group, but some students will be graded on an individual basis as needed. This is because some groups will work together well while others will have some students who need extra assistance and others who do not. There will be some individuals who deserve their own grade, separate from the group. This will only take place through direct observation by the teacher, and will remain as un-biased as possible.
