Expectations for deliverables

Assignments will be done individually.

Quizzes will be given either on-line or in-class and must be taken in the CS110 lab / Lecture Hall. Each student must provide their CSU ID or driver's license verifying their identity. On-line quizzes are taken using RamCT.

The final exam will be given during the final exam period for your recitation. It is on-line, comprehensive and closed book.

Overall, we expect that this course will require 2-3 hours outside class for every hour in lab/class.

Late and Makeup Policies

Final Exam & Quizzes: Make-up exams are only given in extraordinary circumstances (e.g., illness, death of family member). Documentation will be required for the absence to be excused per department policy. Students must consult with the instructor as soon as possible, preferably before the start of the exam. Course examination dates are listed in the website; be aware of them and plan accordingly.

Extra credit may be offered in this course, if so it will be offered to everyone equally.

Grading Process

The software grades almost everything. If you have an issue with your grading, talk with the TA first, then to your instructor if you still disagree. Please do not post a message on the discussion board about your grade.

Final exams may be subject to a curve, with the average set to be a low B. Assignments, quizzes and lab tests will not be curved.
