CLASSWORK:
There will be five programming assignments.
(An assignment maybe turned in one session
late with a 2 point deduction.)
There will be three mid-term exams on:

GRADING:
Each program assignment = 20 points.
Each exam = 100 points.
Academic improvement during the quarter will be rewarded by replacing one mid-term exam score with the final exam score when it is helpful.
Grades will be based on the total points earned and distributed using the following criteria:
(95% A)(90% A-)(85% B+)(80% B)(76% B-)(72% C+)(68% C)(64% C-)(60% D+)(56% D)
