1. Grading Scheme Rationale #2

2. Based on Points, not Percentage

3. Why? Incentivize useful behaviors
Team with other people, learn from them
Give feedback to other students
Respond to others on Piazza
Help them with their project
Points come from more than just instructor and TAs.

4. Grading by Experience Points
In traditional grading, students worry about losing what they have.
Focus is on points deducted, not points gained.
With experience points, you never have to worry about losing what you have earned.

5. Differences No levels Limits on points you can get for each actiity
You can lose points for not teaming with enough people
Exams will still be graded by percentage, but converted to points
