Scope of the Course

We'll learn to think like a programmer...

Assignments

The only way to learn programming is to program. Doing the programming assignments is crucial to performing well in class. I strongly recommend that you write programs over and above what is assigned to you. Assignments will be given almost every week. Each assignment will have a clearly stated due date and time. Assignments start out being easy but get harder over the semester. If you are having considerable difficulty with Assignments please see me immediately.

The assignments will require a substantial time commitment over several days (an average of 8 hours per week should be expected). Be sure to budget sufficient time to complete assignments before the deadline.

You should prepare and give up your assignments before deadline to your TA.

Always make a backup copy of the Python 3 source code (i.e. the .py file) on a removable secondary storage device (e.g. a flash drive). This will be necessary in cases where your program gets lost, is corrupted, or if there is some dispute over what was turned in when.

Quizzes

We will be having quizzes regularly throughout the semester. The quizzes will be administered at the beginning of class.

Tests

There will be one midterm test and a final examination.

Grades

Your performance in this class will be evaluated using your scores for quizzes, programming assignments, and two tests. The weights of each of these components are listed below. There are no extra credit projects or assignments to improve your grade.

Policies

Acts that exceed the bounds defined by the approved collaboration practices will be considered cheating. Such acts include:
