Grading

There are 1000 points possible in this course - 500 from programs, 500 from quiz, the Exam 1, Exam 2, and the final. You will be graded on the percentage of these points you accumulate. Grading will be based approximately on the scale shown in the table below, but we will grade each section of this course separately and may make adjustments to the scale as necessary for each section.

Grade A AB B BC C CD D F
Scale 90-100% 85-89% 80-84% 75-79% 70-74% 65-69% 60-64% 0-59%

In addition, you will not receive a passing grade in the course unless you receive a passing grade on the exams and quizzes alone (i.e., 60%). Likewise, you will not receive a passing grade in the course unless you receive a passing grade on the programming assignments alone (i.e., 60%).

Collaboration and Cheating

No assignment-specific assistance should be given nor received on any programming assignment. Any outside help concerning the use of the computer facilities is acceptable. You may discuss the meaning or intent of an assignment, but not ways to program it. All work turned in must be completely your own. You must not share code or even outlines! Any and all use of programs from other texts or references must be explicitly stated as part of program documentation.

In general, any acts of plagiarism will result in a failing grade for the course along with the submission of a report to the Dean of Students. See the hand-out on Computer Science Policy on Cheating for more details.

Exams and Final

You are responsible for avoiding exam time conflicts!! Quiz 1 is on Wednesday, September 24, in class. Exam 1 is on Wednesday, October 8, from 6 - 8pm. Exam 2 is on Wednesday, October 29, from 6 - 8pm. The final is on Wednesday, November 19, from 7:30 - 9:30 pm. The final conflicts with finals for EM332, MAT111, ME320 and ME328, so if you are in one of these classes please resolve the conflict as soon as possible.

Getting Help

Computer Science Learning Center
The Computer Science Learning Center is open to answer any questions you may have on your program assignments, and questions about FORTRAN. Please make use of their services. If you have any problems with a coach, please let your instructor or the course coordinator know.

Learning Center hours:

Day Time Place
Monday - Friday 2 - 5 pm Fisher 019
Sunday - Thursday 7 - 10 pm Fisher 232

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a list of frequently asked questions such as how to compile your program, how to send screen output to a file, etc. When you encounter a problem and there is nobody around, check this list first to see if your question has been asked and solved. This list also tells you how to ask your questions. Visit this list frequently since it is updated as new questions/solutions become available.

Course Notes and Overheads
There is an on-line course available in case you need to check a concept and the syntax of a statement. It basically follows the structure of our class so that you could locate the needed information quickly.

The overheads used in class are available at the end of each chapter of this on-line course. These are PostScript files and require a PostScript enabled printer to print. If you do not know a near-by printer is PostScript capable, ask CS Lab Consultants or your local system administrator.
