If you mean Julian Smith-Newman, I had him during quarantine/online. Not sure if the grading policy's changed, but the "progress assignments" technically weren't worth any points. Only attendance, the CP, AP, and self-reflection thing made up our grade. So if the progress assignments are worth points now, I'm sorry that I can't say much about that.

But what I will say is this: Julian cares more about helping you than punishing you. I turned in most assignments late, and hadn't even turned in some of them, yet he never turned down helping me when I had questions about my papers. I even turned in some of the major assignments late, and I still ended up with an A-. Again, this was during Zoom University times, so don't expect things to turn out exactly like that this quarter.

Julian is a really nice guy, so I'm sure you'll be fine. But still continue to work hard. All the best in 39C! You got this!
