CPSC 241, 9:45 - 11:15 a.m.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 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.

Individual Programming Assignments:

Individual Programming Assignments will be made at class meetings and will count 15% of the final grade. A grading rubric for programming assignments will be distributed with the first assignment. A good solution that meets all requirements of the assignment will be given a grade of 90%. Solutions that exceed minimum requirements may qualify for grades in the 91- 100% range.

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.

One week of summer session is equivalent to three weeks of regular session. Since one summer class meeting covers the material usually presented in two regular (50 min.) class meetings, it is probable that more than one short quiz will be given on some days.

Hour Quizzes:

Hour Quizzes will be given on Wednesday, July 8 and Tuesday, July 21. 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 1 will count 10% of the final grade. Hour Quizz 2 will each count 20% 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 25% of the final grade and is scheduled for Wednesday, August 5, (probably from noon to 3 p.m.). Exams and quizzes will usually be closed book, closed notes.

Attendance Policy:

Attendance is required. At the discretion of the instructor, you may be dropped from the class upon missing 3 or more class meetings.

Grading Scale:

90 to 100 = A
80 to 89 = B
70 to 79 = C
60 to 69 = D
below 60 = F
