Grading Policies
Tentative plans call for 3 to 4 programming assignments, together
worth 45% of your grade. These are to be individual efforts, meaning no sharing
of code allowed with anyone but the instructor or the TA. Expect substantial
programming workload.
Both the final and midterm exams are
closed-book and closed-notes. Missed exams
must be arranged with the instructor BEFORE the exam. Documentation of the
illness (doctor's note) is required. No early exams will be given and
make-up exams are strongly discouraged. Tentative grade
distribution is: programming projects: 45%, midterm: 20%, final: 35%.
Letter grades will be assigned by subjectively identifying brackets in the
numeric scores. A total score of 49 or less will result in F.
Late Policy
NO LATE ASSIGNMENTS ACCEPTED WITHOUT DOCUMENTATION FOR ILLNESS, with the following exception:
every student of the course is allowed to have a total of 3 FREE LATE DAYS. Consider them as non-transferable, non-replaceable credits and use them wisely. If you wish to use one or more of these, indicate it clearly in your submission. No partial late day is in effect. You need one whole late day to cover a one-hour
late submission. Late submissions will not be graded if you have used all three
late days. Partial credits are available as long as you document well which
parts have been implemented.
Extra Credit
There may be opportunities for extra credit on some of the projects
or exams. To receive any extra credit for a project, all base functionality
of a project must be implemented; extra credit portions of a project can not count
in place of required features. Extra extensions other than your late days
will not be given for completion of extra credit.
Honor Code
You are expected to abide by the honor code. All assignments
and exams are individual efforts. Collaborations on any programming assignment
is unacceptable. Please refer to
GMU
Academic Policies and
Computer
Science Department Honor Code.
Any violation of the honor code will result in a zero of the
assignment/exam, and may result in an F for the class.
I will be using MOSS to detect plagiarism in programming assignments.
