Evaluation

Your grade will be determined by the following components of the course:

Examinations: We will have two one-hour exams and a final exam.

In-Class Exercises: Occasionally, you will be expected to complete assigned exercises during class time (to be continued as homework).

Outside Programming Projects: Outside projects are programs that you will complete on your own, outside of class time. These will NOT be group assignments, and individual work will be expected. If programs submitted are collaborations between two or more students, the grade will be adjusted accordingly.

Attendance: Attendance will be taken each class period. Absence will affect your grade.

Exam 1:	15%	Week of February 13
Exam 2:	10%	Week of March 27
Final Exam:	20%	Date TBA
Labs:	50%

Please note that all of the percentage weights are merely guidelines and I reserve the right to vary from these guidelines.
