Syllabus note about A+

[ykharitonova]

Current:

Note that A+ is given at the discretion of the instructor for outstanding performance and participation that go beyond the regular class expectations.

Add:
There is no grade threshold for the A+.
Instead, it is based on the instructor's direct knowledge of your outstanding performance and their ability to cite examples that illustrate how you went beyond the regular class expectations.
Such knowledge can be gained by the instructor through the conversations during the office hours, a student's independent projects that use course material, any outstanding extra credit work, and/or helpful and informed participation on the forum, just to name a few examples.
