|
| Objectives: |
To learn C programming, with intro to C++.
|
| Laboratory content: |
This is a lab course.
|
Evaluation:
| % | Grade |
| 90-100 | A |
| 80-89 | B |
| 70-79 | C |
| 60-69 | D |
|
| Final Exam | 15% |
| Midterm Exam | 15% |
| Programming Assignments | 60% |
| Lab | 10% |
|
| Assignments: |
Unless otherwise specified, these are individual
assignments, and must be strictly your own work and are not to
be shown to anyone else.
|
| Assignment late policy: |
Late assignments will be accepted but points will be
deducted according to the formula (3n)3 where
n is the number of days late. Example: assuming assignments
are due on Monday, the point deduction is as follows:
| Max points possible |
Day received |
Days late |
| 100 | Monday | 0 (due date) |
| 73 | Tuesday | 1 day late |
| 0 | Wednesday | 2 days late |
Late assignments will receive lowest priority for grading and
returning.
|
| Quizzes: |
Daily tests will be given at the end of class and will cover the
material presented in the PREVIOUS class. Two COMPREHENSIVE makeups will
be given at the time of the final exam and at least one grade will be
dropped. No other makeups will be given... so please do not ask. Any
student MISSING 6 QUIZZES WILL BE DROPPED FROM THE CLASS effective the
date of the 6th miss. Attendance at lab is also mandatory. Any student
with more than two lab absences will also be DROPPED FROM THE class.
|
| Attendance: |
Roll will be taken for the first one or two weeks while
the class roll fluctuates. However, attendance is not required.
Absence, excused or not, does not change the responsibility for
assigned work.
Tests missed due to excused absences will normally result
in the test not being counted in the average grade (i.e., there will
normally be no makeup tests). An unexcused absence from a
test will normally result in a grade of zero for that test. Students
are expected to give at least one week advance notice for excused
absences.
|
| Academic dishonesty: |
The University policies on academic dishonesty apply.
Publicly-available code or other material may not be used.
Each student is responsible for protecting
his or her files from access by others. Work that is essentially
the same and submitted without proper attribution is considered
to be a violation of academic dishonesty policy by all those
submitting the work, regardless of who actually did the work.
| |
| Class cancelation: |
Students are expected to wait for 15 minutes after
the class beginning time before leaving if the instructor is late.
