There are 930 points possible in this course - 430 from programs, 500 from the exams. You will be graded on the percentage of these points you accumulate. Grading will be based approximately on the scale shown in the table below.
Grade | A | AB | B | BC | C | CD | D | F |
Scale | 90-100% | 85-89% | 80-84% | 75-79% | 70-74% | 65-69% | 60-64% | 0-59% |
In addition, you will not receive a passing grade in the course unless you receive a passing grade on the exams alone (i.e., 60% or 300 points). Likewise, you will not receive a passing grade in the course unless you receive a passing grade on the programming assignments alone (i.e., 60% or 258 points).
No late programming assignments will be graded, except that you have a valid excuse.
No assignment-specific assistance should be given nor received on any programming assignment. Any outside help concerning the use of the computer facilities is acceptable. You may discuss the meaning or intent of an assignment, but not ways to program it. All work turned in must be completely your own. You must not share code or even outlines! Any and all use of programs from other texts or references must be explicitly stated as part of program documentation. In general, any acts of plagiarism will result in a failing grade for the course along with the submission of a report to the Dean of Students. See the hand-out on Computer Science Policy on Cheating and Academic Integrity Policy for more details.
