Final Exam |
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.
