Programming projects will receive a letter grade. Tests will be graded with a numeric score which will be translated to a letter grade according to the standard scale:
| A B C D F |
93 - 100% 85 - 92 76 - 84 70 - 75 Below 70% |
It is expected that programming assignments should be completed on time, compile, run, produce accurate output, and be designed according to structured methodology. Source code will be evaluated for readability and quality of internal documentation (meaningful data names and meaningful comments). Solutions to programming assignments must be substantially your own work. You may discuss problems with other students or other individuals, however the actual coding of the solution should be your own work.
Tuesday evenings, 7:30 - 10:20 P.M.
Class attendance is required.
