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:
- 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 through the
Blackboard/Vista website for grading by 12PM,
i.e., noon, on the specified due date.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
