Grades
The course will have written assignments, programming assignments, quizzes, mid-terms and a final. The grade will be determined by averaging:
- 10% Quizzes (about 5 throughout the semester)
- 10% Written H/W (about 10 total) No late submissions, grade is based on best 70%
- 25% Programming H/W (about 6 total) Must submit all but 1 to pass course
- 15% 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
- 25% Final
