One midterm exam and one final exam:
Midterm: March 8, Thursday, 12:45-14:00
Final: May 9, Wednesday 8:00-10:00 am
Spring break: March 12-16
Last day of class: May 1.
50% will be determined by the homework and programming assignments (assignments turned in late not accepted).
25% will be determined by the midterm and 25% by the final exam.
Your MINIMUM grade will be A, B, C, or D, for averages of 90%, 75%, 60%, or 45%, respectively.
Students must make arrangements in advance if they expect to 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.
Students with disabilities and special needs are referred to the
office of support services.
The office will then notify me about
the details and special arrangements that should be made.
