Like CS101, CS102 is a "learn by doing" course. Reflecting this,
grades will emphasize the problem sets. Grades will be computed
along the following lines:
- 50% problem sets;
- 40% exams and occasional quizzes on reading;
- 10% class participation.
Notes:
- Unless specified otherwise, problem sets must be
submitted through the Blackboard/Vista website for
grading by 12PM, i.e., noon, on the
specified due date.
- Late problem sets will be penalized 25% per day.
Students should note that this policy is concrete.
For example, if you are attempting to submit a
problem set immediately before the deadline and your
computer freezes or the network doesn't respond, the
submission is late. If you submit your problem set
incorrectly (e.g., by submitting Java class files
rather that Java source files), the submission is
late.
- Extensions for problem set deadlines are
granted only for documented medical problems or
other family emergencies.
- NB: under no circumstances
can code be submitted for grading by attaching it to
an email message. An attempt to submit code via email
is unlikely to receive a reply notifying the sender
that the attempted submission failed.
- Students missing an exam without prior
permission of the instructor will need a note from their
doctor.
- The instructor reserves the right to adjust the
relative percentages of the grade components for an
individual student if there is a significant
discrepancy between the exam scores and the problem set
scores.
- Any violation
of
the university's policy on academic integrity will
result in a failing grade for the course.
