Grading:	Exams	66.6 %	A: >= 90%
	Assignments	33.3 %	B: >= 80%
			C: >= 70%
			D: >= 60%
			F: < 60%

Exams: Two exams will be given, each worth 33.3% of the final grade. Online students will be expected to make arrangements to come to the Warwick campus for the exam (date and time to be arranged). Exams will be a combination of multiple-choice and short answer questions. You will be expected to write code segments and to demonstrate your understanding of C# program code.

Assignments: Several assignments will be given during the course. They will account for 33.3% of the student's grade. Programs will be graded on correctness, documentation, style, and neatness. Late assignments will be penalized 10% per week. Assignments more than one week late will not be accepted without prior permission of the instructor.

Submitting Assignments:

· Assignments must be uploaded into WebCT.

· All source code and supporting files (including any requested screen shots) must be zipped into a single file for upload. Name the file using this convention: YourName-CspX.zip (X is the assignment number). So, for example, the file name might be SusanWatts-Csp3.zip. NOTE: WebCT will not allow uploading files whose names contain certain special characters (such as #, ', and more). Hence Csp3 and NOT C#3.

· For the on-campus section, a printed copy of the source code and screenshots must be turned in to the instructor. Use font Courier New and font size 10 or 12.

Programming Style and Documentation:

· Each program must start with a comment stating your name.

· You are expected to follow the Good Programming Practices given in the text. For example:

o Indent statements between braces a minimum of 3 spaces

o Indent after the first line of a statement a minimum of 3 spaces

o Align opening and closing braces

o Use logical identifier naming conventions

· Failure to follow good programming practices will result in a deduction from the grade for that assignment.

Homework Policy: Programs are to be the result of individual effort. Students are NOT to work together on the programs. In instances where collaboration is evident, a score of 0 will be assigned to all involved. All suspected cases of cheating, either on programs or exams, will also be referred to the Dean of Students for appropriate action.

Attendance Policy: Students are responsible for all material. The material taught is cumulative. Students missing a class remain responsible for the material. If an absence is anticipated, make prior arrangements with the instructor through email.
