Finals Week |
Final Exam |
Each exam will count 100 points including the
final. Programs are to be worked on the
computer. They will be worth 10 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.
