GRADING :6 programs 1/3 Mid-Term 1/3 Final Exam
1/3 3
Thu, Aug
LATE PROGRAMS: Programs are due at the beginning of class on the date specified. Late programs will be accepted for one class meeting past the date due. If turned on the due date, but after the beginning of class and before I leave for the day, 10% will be taken off. From then to the beginning of the next class meeting 20% will be taken off. After that, the program will normally not be accepted. Many program assignments will have an optional extra credit component, but extra credit cannot produce a program average higher than 100%. At the risk of belaboring the obvious, it is foolish to turn in nothing at all. MAKE - UP TESTS: Except in special circumstances, NO MAKE-UP tests will be given. The final will be counted twice if you miss the mid-term. CURVE: No curve is guaranteed. If I feel a curve is justified at the end of the semester, then one will be applied to your final average. The curve will NEVER be larger than 10 points and is typically a point or two. OTHER DATES OF INTEREST: The last drop date for this class will be Tuesday, August 1. If you do not drop by then, you will receive a grade. THE FILES IN THIS BOOKLET WILL BE PLACED ON THE INTERNET: Sometime during the first month of the semester, these files will be placed on the internet. If you look before then, you will probably find the files last from semester. Look in my area under cs.lamar.edu I will be happy to place all of these files on your CD or flash memory stick if you bring one to my office.
PROGRAMS: The example programs in this booklet were tested in Microsoft Visual C++ (v. 6.0). Most have also been tested on Galaxy a LINUX system. Your programs will be written in C++ and must be run of a UNIX or LINUX platform. You will be given ids to GALAXY, or another LINUX platform. You will also be able to request ids on Gandhi or one of the other UNIX boxes if you want one. Seven(7) program assignments will be made. Programs will be due approximately every two weeks. Six(6) program assignments will be made. Programs will be due approximately every week (except the first two and the week of the midterm). COLLUSION ON ASSIGNMENTS: In addition to what is written in the Guidelines for Grading Homework Assignments, if I feel that two programs are too similar, the grade given both programs will be zero (0).
