CS1101 is very much a "learn by doing" course. Reflecting this,
grades will emphasize the problem sets. Grades will be computed
along the following lines:
- 46% problem sets;
- 42% three exams (13% each for two midterms, 16% final);
- 12% class, lab and piazza forum participation.
Notes:
- 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.
- Unless specified otherwise,
problem sets must be submitted for grading by midnight
on the specified due date.
- Extensions for problem set deadlines are
granted only for documented medical problems or
other family emergencies. Having a busy schedule
isn't grounds for an extension.
- NB: under no circumstances can code be
submitted for grading by attaching it to an email
message. An attempt to submit code via email will not
receive a reply notifying the sender that the
attempted submission failed.
Late problem sets will be penalized 25% each day.
- Students missing an exam without prior
permission of the instructor will need a note from their
doctor.
- Any violation of
the university's policy on academic integrity will
result in a failing grade for the course.
