You must score on boundary or above to get grade. There is no rounding.

For a passing grade (D or better), student must achieve a grade of 60% or better in the test/quiz portion and 60% or better in the assignment portion.

All assignments are due in class at the time specified for that assignment. Be sure to include the following information on each assignment:

• Your Name (Last, First, Middle Initial: Print clearly)
• CSCI 330-01
• Your faculty's name / Your TA's name
• Assignment Number / Date Due

All assignments will be graded by the teaching assistant of your section. To receive full credit for an assignment, all the requirements specified in the assignment must be satisfied. For example, a program with no documentation or with an execution error will be assigned the grade of ZERO.

If you do not agree with the assigned grade, see your TA first to resolve the matter. Late assignments will be accepted with 25% of the base points deducted for each 24 hours past. Clock is continuous.

Midterm will be given during normal class time.

Questions on grading must be submitted within 2 weeks of the assignment or test officially being returned. Failure to pick up assignment or test, once it is graded, does not extend this deadline.

Final will be given in accordance with university policy at the time scheduled and posted in the course catalog. Students having more that two final exams on the same day can reschedule the exam with the highest course number. You must also give notice at least a week before finals, if this applies.

Cheating

Disciplinary action for cheating may range from receiving a zero for the assignment up to receiving an F for the course. Cheating is reported to the University and the University may take additional disciplinary action.
