A quiz will be given approximately once per week at the beginning of Lab. The lowest quiz grade will be dropped. No make-up quizzes will be given.
Lab grades are determined by meeting the criteria specified on the individual lab assignments. Any lab assignment involving creation of a program must be substantially functional in order to receive a passing grade. If you turn in a non-functioning program and have not come to see me for help, a grade of no higher than 50 will be given for that assignment.
Note that this algorithm indicates how a grade will be determined for students who have successfully demonstrated mastery of the course objectives. An acceptable level of success in meeting all course objectives is a prerequisite for a passing grade in the course.
| Criterion | Weight |
| Labs | 40% |
| Quizzes | 20% |
| Hour Exams | 20% |
| Final Exam | 20% |
