Examinations & Major Assignments:

The course assignments will include 6 homework assignments and a project (in 3 parts). There are no examinations. I am flexible about late submission of assignments, but I will not accept a late submission of an assignment without prior approval.

Homework assignments will include essay and analytical problems that cover topics from the lectures and readings. Projects will be team projects on specifications and design, will require the use of software tools.software tools

Grading:

Grades* will be based on homework (50%) and projects (50%). Final grades will be calculated with specific grades assigned to average scores in a more or less  traditional manner (>92 = A; 88-91 = A-; 85-87 =B+; 82-84 = B; 78-81 = B-;  75-77 =C+; 72-74 =C; 68-71 = C-; 63-67 = D; <63 =F). NOTE: These have been changed to reflect the new grading structure. I reserve the right to review the grade distribution and lower the ranges of scores for a given grade (e.g., perhaps 85-89 = A-; >90 = A).

 

Students always expected to work independently, except when collaboration is explicitly expected (such as for the team projects). Failure to do independent work may result in a failing grade for the assignment or, in some cases, for the course.
