CPSC 241, Section 1, 8:00 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 L241 and lab attendance is mandatory. A passing grade in laboratory is required to pass the course.

Programming Assignments:

Programming Assignments will count 20% of the final grade. A grade of at least 50% must be earned in the individual programming assignments to pass the course. Some programming assignments will be group work and other programming assignments will be individual work.

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 22.5% 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 Friday, February 11 (Hour Quiz 1) and Wednesday, March 15, and Friday, March 17 (Hour Quiz 2). 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. Hour Quiz I will count 10% of the final grade and Hour Quiz II will count 15 % of the final grade, making the hour quizes contribute 25% to the computation of the final grade.
