based on the schedule shown below.
GRADING SCALE:
A
= 90 - 100
B
= 80 - 89
C
= 70 - 79
D = 60 - 69
F
= below 60
Note: This is a core course of the Computer Science Department. A grade
of “C” or better is required for successful completion for any Computer Science
student.
Evaluation : Homework/Assignments 20%
Exams (3 of
best 4) 60%
Final Exam 20%
(Comprehensive)
Total 100%
Homework : Homework
will be given to support the connection of the lecture material. Assignments will be given in class and a due
date assigned. If you miss that class,
it is the student’s responsibility to get the assignments for that day.
Homework will not be excepted late.
If you have to miss a class, to gain credit for the homework, you may
fax it, email it, mail it, or make arrangements to have it to the instructor
before the class period it is due. These
assignments are worth 20% of your total grade for this course.
NOTE
– Due to the amount of material to be covered, there will be a need for time
spent outside of the classroom to complete all assignments for this course.
Exams : There
will be 4 exams given during the course.
Each exam is worth 20% of the
total grade. Students are required to
take the Exams at the specified times.
Your highest 3 of 4 test scores will count. You may drop the lowest test score. NO
MAKE UP EXAMS WILL BE GIVEN, NO EXCUSES.
Absences: It is the responsibility of
each student to attend class on a daily basis and keep up with all
assignments. In the event that a class
must be missed, it is THE STUDENTS responsibility to cover the material missed
on their own, get any assignments missed, etc.
It is NOT the responsibility of the instructor to re-cover the material
in class when the student returns.
X. OTHER COURSE
INFORMATION
1)
This course consists of lectures and programming
labs and other assignments that are designed to reinforce the theory covered in
the lectures. Although hands-on tasks
will be used during some lectures, most lab assignments must be completed
outside normal class meetings.
2) Your grade in this course will be made up of four (4) exams
evenly spaced over the course, with the 3 highest scores counting towards the
final grade and lab assignments.
Final Exam 20%
Tests 60%
Lab Assignments 20%
3) Attendance is required for this course. Any absence excused or unexcused still counts
as one absence. After you have
accumulated 8 absences, you will be dropped from this course.
4) All lab assignments will be introduced during class and will
have a specific due date. They will be
due at the beginning of the class meeting on the due date. All assignments are to be submitted through
e-mail attachments unless otherwise stated. Late assignments will not be
accepted. Absence from class does not
excuse late assignments.
5) The student is responsible for keeping backup copies of all
lab assignments. This is to protect the
student from having to recreate a lab assignment due to the loss of the lab
assignment through e-mail or other problems that may arise.
6) I have no objection to students helping other students on
lab assignments. In fact it is
encouraged. However, work turned in by
the student should be his/her own work.
If you do assignments together, you must clearly indicate that you
worked together. Otherwise, this is
cheating and will be treated as such and the offending student will be subject
to University disciplinary action.
7) Students must take responsibility for their own
actions. If you are having trouble
completing assignments, please tell me immediately. Please do not wait until the day work is due
to tell me you had problems understanding it or getting started. Getting behind is a sure way to be
unsuccessful in this course. The
material continually builds on itself.
Once you are behind, you will get further behind exponentially.
Note: This course schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the instructor due to time constraints or other extenuating circumstances.
