Grading

Your final grade will be computed as follows.

Worksheets (20%)

We will have an “in class” worksheetshanded out in each lecture and which is to be turned in at the end of the lecture. Turn in 75% of the worksheets to get full credit. Responses will be graded on participation (not correctness).

Programming Assignments (20%)

Four programming assignments, done individually. Will be assigned approximately every two weeks, and instructions on turning them in will be posted with each assignment. You have a total of four late days that you can use throughout the quarter as you need them, where a late day means anything between 1 second and 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds past a deadline.

Midterm Exams (40%)

There will be two closed-book pencil-and-paper midterm exams, each worth 20% of the grade – to be held during lecture on Th 2/5 and Thu 3/10 respectively. You may bring a letter-sized “notes sheet” of paper to help you during the exam (feel free to use both sides, if you wish.)

Project (20%)

A project that will be completed in a group of 2-3 and demo-ed and evaluated during the final exam block on Thu 03/19 8:00a – 11:00a.
