Exams and Projects:

Two exams, mid-term and final, final exam is comprehensive.  40% of grade is based on programming project.  10% of grade is based on homework assignments, which are progress reports for the project.

 

Grading Policy:

You are responsible for all material covered in class even if you are absent. The final grade will be a weighted average of the scores in the homework, project, midterm, and final exam.  Homework is due on Assignment Due Date.  Your grade for that assignment is decreased by 10% if it is one week late.  If it is later than one week, you get a score of zero.
