Student Evaluation

• There are three basic components that will be used to determine a student's mark in the course:
  • A final exam worth 40% of the overall mark
  • One quiz worth 15% of the overall mark
  • Programming assignments worth 45% of the overall mark

• The following rules are designed to ensure that students progressing in the honors programs and the fourth year general meet certain minimum standards:
  • To be eligible to pass the course, a student must receive at least 40% in the quiz/exam component and at least a 40% in the individual assignments.

  • To be eligible to receive an overall grade of 60% or higher in the course, a student must receive at least 50% in the quiz/exam component and at least 50% in the individual assignments.

• Exams and Quiz (Tentative)

  The final exam is scheduled by the Registrar. It is tentatively set for April 13 at 2:00 PM. There is a one hour in-class quiz on February 17.

  • Both the quiz and the final exam are closed-book. You are allowed one 8x11 sheet of paper with handwritten notes on it.
  • There will be no makeup quiz, except for students requesting a Special Quiz for religious reasons. These students must have notified the course instructor and filed documentation with their Dean's office at least two weeks prior to the Quiz.
  • If you miss the Midterm Quiz for any other reason, and present valid documentation to the Dean's office, your Final Exam mark will be reweighted to include the weight of the Quiz. You must notify the course instructor within a week of the missed Quiz, and documentation must be received by your Dean's office within 2 weeks of the missed Quiz.
  • Quiz marks will be posted within 2 weeks of the quiz at the latest.

• Assignments

  There are three programming assignments. The assignment schedule is found in table 1.

  
  

  Table 1: Programming Assignment Workload

  If we cannot keep to the assignment schedule, marks will be pro-rated as necessary, within the 45% allotment for programming assignments.

  Changes will not be made to these due dates without consulting the Computer Science Department.
