Grading

• Homeworks: 20%
• Programming assignments: 30% (15% each).
• Midterm: 20%
• Final: 30%

Late homeworks won't be accepted. Everything you have to turn in is due at the beginning of the class the day the work is due.

All the work you submit must be individual. When teamwork is submitted the mark earned is divided by the number of participants.

For late programming assignments there is a 10% per business day penalty.

Exams are closed-book(s) closed-notes.

Grading is based on the following scale:

• A: 90 - 100
• B: 80 - 89
• C: 70 - 79
• D: 60 - 69
• E: 0 - 59

Class attendance and participation will help settle the borderline grades.

Regular class attendance is important and students are expected to actively participate in class: questions and comments are always welcome.

Varia

Unless otherwise stated all papers you turn in will be TYPED. No handwritten work is accepted. Each page will have a header as follows:

• the left side: your name
• middle: page number and the total number of pages (ex. 2/5 indicates this is page 2 out of a total of 5)
• right hand side: name of the assignment (ex. Homework #2)

Each page will also have a footer:

• the left hand side will contain the following text: cs330-<section>: Spring 1996 where <section> stands for the section you are in
• the right hand side will contain the following text: Illinois Institute of Technology - CSAM

The header and the footer will be Arial or Helvetica, 10 points, regular. The text for the paper itself will be typed using Times Roman (12 points regular, except for titles which may be larger and bold).
