Every piece of graded work in the course, what it is worth, and when it is due.
Assessment#
Four pieces of work carry the semester. Care Labs (10%) reward showing up and doing the weekly work. Catwatch (15%), The Care Model (25%), and Know Your Cat (50%) are one continuous project on the same human cat: observe first, then build a model of them, then keep that model honest as they change.
Catwatch
A short observation exercise — follow one designated human cat across repeated interactions closely enough to tell what you actually saw from what you assumed
