CPSC 210, 8:00 - 8:50 a.m.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday



Laboratory Grade:

The laboratory grade will be determined by your laboratory instructor and will count 10% of the final grade. You must be enrolled in a section of L210 and lab attendance is mandatory. A passing grade in laboratory is required to pass the course.

Individual Programming Assignments:

Individual Programming Assignments will be made at class meetings and will count 20% of the final grade.

Short Quizzes and Class Work:

Short quizzes, class work, and short homework will be given/collected frequently. If N is the number of such quizzes and class work, the number of such grades computed in the average will be ceiling(0.8N). No makeups of these quizes/class work will be given for any reason. Since only the best eight out of ten grades will be counted, there is an allowance for absences (excused and unexcused). Short quiz/class work grade will be 20% of the final grade. Some grades will result from work in small groups. In the case of group work, one paper will be handed in for each group.

Hour Quizzes:

Hour Quizzes will be given on the following Wednesdays: Sept. 23, Oct. 21, and Nov. 25. (Note that Nov. 25 is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.) No makeups of hour quizzes will be given for any reason. If an absence from an Hour Quiz is excused, the final exam will count an additional percentage to replace the missed quiz. If you know in advance that you will miss an Hour Quiz, the instructor will attempt to allow you to take the quiz before the regularly scheduled date. Each Hour Quiz will count 10% of the final grade, making the hour quizes contribute 30% to the computation of the final grade.

Final Exam:

The final exam will be cumulative and a grade of at least 50 on the final exam is required in order to pass the course. The Final Exam will count 20% of the final grade and is scheduled for Wednesday, December 9 at 8:00 a.m. Exams and quizzes will usually be closed book, closed notes.
