Section Announcements

Grading

Your grade is based on 6 programming projects, 6 homework assignments, 2 in-class exams, the final exam and attendance. The points are distributed as follows:

	points	#	Total
Project 0	3	1	3
Project 1-5	7	5	35
Homework 1-6	2	6	12
Exam 1 & 2	15	2	30
Final Exam	15	1	15
Attendance	0.25	20	5
Total:			100

Your final letter grade is based on the standard formula:

0 ≤ F < 60 ≤ D < 70 ≤ C < 80 ≤ B < 90 ≤ A ≤ 100.

These levels may be adjusted slightly in your favor, but grades will not be “curved” in the conventional sense.

Your grade is given for timely work done during the semester; incomplete grades will only be given for medical illness or other such dire circumstances.

Note that the due dates for the projects and the dates of the exams are already set (q.v., the course schedule). Please plan your schedules accordingly. Makeup exams will be given only under the most dire circumstances (almost never).
