Exams

1 take home midterm, and 1 final exam taken in class.

Homework

Handed in on printout, no disks or emails unless specifically asked for or agreed to by the instructor.

Grading

Grading is broken down as follows:       Midterm/Final 60%       Homework 30%       Participation 10%  Grades are broken down as follows:     100 = A+, 99 to 95=A, 94 to 85=B, 85 to 75=C, 74 to 65=D, below 65=F  No 'upgrades' will be permitted for homeworks, or assignments unless previously agreed upon with instructor. No more than two homework assignments will be accepted from a student on the final day of class. A grade of 'incomplete' must be requested by students two weeks prior to the final exam. A grade of incomplete is granted at the instructors discretion, taking into account the students grade average and ability to complete class assignments.

Incompletes

Grades of incomplete are almost non-existent.
