5. Exams and Quizzes : All examinations and quizzes must be taken on the date scheduled.  Failure to do so will result in a zero for that quiz or examination grade.  An exam or quiz missed due to absence cannot be made up unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor.  A valid written excuse will be required before a makeup is considered.  

 

6. Grades: There will be a midterm exam, a final exam, and some programming assignments/projects /quizzes throughout this course. The exams/assignments/projects will require you to write an actual code, which will test your understanding of the underlying concepts and how they are implemented.  The grading distribution will be approximately 25% for the midterm, 25% for the final, and 50% for the programming assignments/quizzes. 

7. Assignment: All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the dates to be set by the instructor. A 5% penalty will be assessed for each calendar day of lateness.  Assignments handed in more than one week (seven days) late will not be accepted for credit. These homework assignments and projects are to represent your own efforts at a solution. 

    Note: Examination dates, quiz dates, assignment and project due dates will be announced in class.
