Each exam will count 100 points including the final. Programs are to be worked on the computer. They will be worth between 5 and 15 points each. All points earned either from programs or exams will be totaled and averaged. Final grading will be based on this course average. Late homework will be accepted without penalty for one week. After that grades will be reduced. All programs must be completed before the end of the semester. Students with missing homework will receive incomplete grades. Attendance is required. Over 3 unexcused absences will result in a reduction in grade for the semester.
