Grades and Attendance Assignments will be submitted to Harvard for grading at which point you will be informed of passing grades, and students’ current standing in the course will be available in the student CMS. Students are expected to complete at least seven (7) passing Problem Sets, all Python practice assignments, and the two OO assignments in order to receive a certificate from Tech901. Regular attendance is expected and required for graduation. Inform your instructor if you will miss class. The instructor reserves the right to dismiss any student because of lack of progress, frequent unexcused absences (3 or more lessons), frequent tardiness, disruptive behavior, and/or failure to abide by Tech901 policies. Tutoring and Review All students are invited to come for extra help during non-class times. This can often be the best way to get the necessary help for mastering the content required for the certification exam.
