Grade Determination
| Assignment | Weight |
|---|---|
| Eight assignments (10 points each) | 35% (70 points, best 7 of 8) |
| Two online quizzes (10 points each) | 10% (20 points) |
| Weekly Participation | 15% (30 points) |
| Midterm Report | 10% (20 points) |
| Summary Report | 30% (60 points) |
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.
The weekly assignments will be based on examples from class.
The summary report is a submission due during finals week. It includes original explanations, reflections or experiences on the major concepts for the course. It takes the place of a final exam. The midterm report is a smaller-stakes preparatory version of the summary report.
All assignments and reports must consist of individual work that is based on concepts and programming constructs presented in class.
Participation is based on weekly contributions to the discussion board. Supplemental contribution points can be earned by participating in the CDM subject pool (one credit counts one point for a maximum of 3 points).
Policies
Students are expected to attend every class (in person or by zoom) or watch the asynchronous recordings on a weekly basis.
The goal of assignments is to practice the concepts taught in class. You are expected to do your own assignments. However, some collaboration with other students is allowed and even encouraged. The following types of collaboration are allowed:
- Discussing strategies for solving a problem
- Explaining why a Web page does not work
- Reviewing and testing someone else's Web pages
- Using HTML and JavaScript code provided by the instructor and texts
The following types of collaboration are not allowed:
- Copying someone else's JavaScript code
- Copying code from an online source
- Literally telling someone what code to write
Engaging in these last two types of collaboration will be considered a violation of the university's policy on academic integrity. Violators will receive a 0 for the corresponding assignment and will be reported as required by the policy.
Late assignments will be accepted up to three days late with a one point penalty. Assignments submitted more than 3 days after the due date will not be accepted without an excused, emergency-based 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.
