Your grade will be calcuated as follows:
Tentative dates for midterm exams and the final exam are Feb. 26th, April 8th, and May 6th, 4:30-7:10 pm. All exams are closed notes, closed books.
No credit if your project does not compile. Late homeworks/projects will have a penalty (specified in each assignment) and will not be accepted 2 days after the due date. There is no make-up for missed exams. The students are responsible for keeping back-ups of their work while they are working on an assignment. For group programming assignments, each member of the group must make a separate submission. If a student makes multiple submissions, only the last submission will be graded. It is critical that the students double check the files they are submitting, as submitting a wrong, corrupted, or empty file is very likely to result in a score of 0 for that assignment.
If you think your work is not correctly graded then you must initiate contact with the grader within a week of receiving the grade (either email or on the Blackboard). Grade contesting beyond this time window will not be allowed.
Note: class participation is required and a minimum score of 50% is required on the Final exam to pass this course.
You are expected to abide by the University's honor code and the CS Department's Honor Code and Academic Integrity Policies during the semester, i.e., collaboration between students in different groups on an assignment is unacceptable. You may not use any assistive technology, AI or other tools to complete assignments. Any violation of the honor code will result in referral to the honor council.
