1. Lowest exam grade replaced by Final Exam grade (if beneficial).
2. Despite the low overall value of the programming portion of the course, ALL projects must be turned in and working to pass the course. They don't have to be necessarily correct, but they must run and they need to at least approach the solution (a "Hello World" program will not work).
3. The worth of the "homework/quizzes" section of the course will be calculated by a function based on the number of assignments and quizzes. If zero homeworks / quizzes are assigned then they will be assigned a 0% portion. If at least 10 are assigned then the full 25% will be assigned as its weight. If the full weight is not used the class will decide how the remaining percentage points will be assigned.
4. Plane ticket prices, events like weddings, or trips out of the country are not valid excuses for missing the final exam at its scheduled time. I will not make accommodations for anything other than an issue vetted by the dean of students.
5. My classes always change based on content, student involvment, and other unforseen variables that I welcome. Having said this we may change the grading scheme based on any changes we make to the class. I will try my hardest to ensure this effects each student in a non-negative way.
Misc:
-
Attending class is one of the primary keys to doing well in this class. Students may be dropped for excessive absences. There is no distinction made between excused and unexcused.
-
Make-up exams are not given. If I see fit, then I will replace a missed exam with your final exam test grade. If you do miss an exam without prior approval, a letter from the dean of students will be needed as an excuse.
-
A number of programming assignments will be made to code and execute. This course requires an ascii editor, a terminal emulator, and a ftp client. The labs provide Notepad++, Putty, and Filezilla respecively.
-
Programs containing syntax errors are unacceptable and will be returned without grading (your programs must work). All submitted programs need to be submitted via Github.
-
Periodically homework assignments will be taken up and graded. It is the student's responsibility to keep up with assignments and to ask questions over the assigned work, even if absent. All homework assignments are due at the specified time that may or may not be in conjunction with a class day. All assignments / homeworks will be uploaded via Github.
-
All work (unless specified) will be done by yourself without help or collaboration with other students. Any resources used from the web should be cited in your comments of your program or paper. Failure to do so could range in dismissal from the course to a 0 on the assignment.
