CS 178: Course Requirements and Grading

Course Requirements and Grading:

• Exams: There will be two exams each of 1 hour held during the semester.
  
• The exams account for 40% of the total.
  
• Homeworks: A number of homeworks will be assigned. The goal of the homeworks is to improve your learning of the concepts covered in the lectures. You must do the homeworks alone and any collaboration, with any person in the class or anyone else or any outside material, on the homework material will be treated as a violation of academic integrity.
• The homeworks are worth 15% of the total.
• You will typically be given a week to 10 days to complete each homework.
  
• Programming Assignments and Lab Assignments: There will be a number of simple programming assignments and a small number of simple lab assignments that you must complete during the lab section. These account for 20% of the grade. Some material for these will be covered ONLY in the lab section.
  
• Project: There will be a large team based project that will account for 25% of the grade. Details about the project are posted on the projects page links.
  
• Late Submission policy: For each calendar day after the due date of the homeworks or programming projects you lose 10% of the grade until the date that solutions are posted. After solutions are posted you get a zero on the work.
• Grades on the submitted work will be posted on Blackboard.
