Grades
The course will have written assignments, programming assignments, quizzes, mid-terms and a final. The grade will be determined by averaging:
- 5% Quizzes (about 5 throughout the semester)
- 10% Written H/W (about 1 a week) No late submissions, grade is based on best 70%
- 15% Programming H/W (about 1 every 2 weeks) Must submit 80% to pass course.
- 20% Each of 2 midterms (The first one is scheduled for Mar 10, 2008) Midterm 1 is "protected" by Midterm 2, and Midterm 2 by the final.
- 30% Final
