Grade Determination
| 35% (70 points) | Programming assignments (10 points each) |
| 10% (20 points) | Quizzes (10 points each) |
| 20% (40 points) | Take-home midterm exam |
| 35% (70 points) | Final Exam |
Students receiving more than 90% of possible points are guaranteed at least an A-, more than 80% at least a B-, more than 70% at least a C-, and more than 60% at least a D.
All submitted work must be original work unless its source is clearly referenced. Failure to clearly attribute quotes or designs from other people's work constitutes plagiarism. Violations will generally receive no credit for a given submission.
Programming assignments may be completed individually or in groups of two or three. All group members are responsible for making sure that everyone learns from the assignment.
Quizzes will cover content from the assigned readings and recent lectures. They are offered online through D2L. Quizzes must be taken individually and within one week of their availability.
The midterm exam is an individual take-home exam. One part consists of the kinds of questions that will appear on the final exam (good for practice). The second part will involve writing code and submitting it.
The final exam is a proctored, comprehensive exam. A major component of the exam involves tracing, explaining and writing code (on paper).
Policies
Students are expected to attend every class or watch the lecture online.
Exams can be made up with a serious documented excuse (e.g. illness, death in the family) and must be arranged as soon as possible. Arrangements involving other excuses require prior permission from the instructor.
Submitted assignments will be accepted up to 3 days late, with a 1 point penalty. Assignments submitted more than 3 days after the due date will not be accepted without an excused absence cleared by the dean of students office (see forms for submitting an excused absence).
Additional assignments for extra credit will not be offered.
All grade challenges must be submitted in writing and include an explanation why the given score or grade should be reconsidered.
