Grading

Your grade is based on 6 programming projects, 6 homework assignments, 2 in-class exams and the final exam. 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	20	1	20
Total:			100

Your final letter grade is based on the standard formula:

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

I will reserve the right to curve grades if an exam was made too difficult, but are not guaranteed.

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.

Schedule

Note that the due dates for the projects and the dates of the exams are already set. See the "Schedule" tab under the course-wide home page. Please plan your schedules accordingly. Makeup exams will be given only under the most dire circumstances (almost never).

Lecture Schedule

Below is the intended lecture schedule, check it regularly for changes. Slides will be made available via blackboard. "Extra Materials" are not required, but may aid you if you want additional help / materials to better understand the topic.
