EXAMS:        Two midterm exams and one final exam:

                      Midterm 1:   Week of November 1

                                         Midterm 2: Week of November 22

                      Final: TBA

MAKE-UPS: Students must make arrangements in advance (the sooner the better) if they will not be handing in homework on time or
will miss an exam. Exam absences due to recognized University-related activities, religious holidays, verifiable illness, and family/medical
emergencies will be dealt with on an individual basis. In all cases of absence from exams a written excuse is required. Ignorance of the time
and place of an exam will not be accepted as an excuse for absence.

INCOMPLETES: I will consider giving you an incomplete if you have successfully completed all but a small portion of the work of the
course and some severe, unexpected event prevents you from completing the course.
I cannot give you an incomplete simply because you are behind in your work; in the latter case you should try to drop the course.

S/U GRADE: If you are registered S/U we will submit a grade of S if your letter grade is C or above, and otherwise a grade of U.

PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING GRADES. The  grades will be computed in the following way:
50 percent from homework and programming assignments and 50 percent from exams
