Final Grade
- 1/3 Homework
- 1/3 Midterm
- 1/3 Final
- The Homework involves challenging programming in Java.
- Homework is graded on an A- (90), A (95), A+ (100) scale.
- You must finish the A- part before attempting the A, and finish the A part before attempting the A+.
- We will go over your homeworks together in lab.
- You are highly encouraged to collaborate on all homework provided you follow the spirit of the 50 ft rule.
- You may use Google, StackOverflow, GeeksforGeeks, ChatGPT, etc. However, the 50ft rule applies. You are NOT allowed to copy and paste (or transcribe) code from any source or person (unless the code came from me 🙂👍). To make sure you're prepared for the exam, I recommend primarily relying on our official course Documentation.
- Please don't ever post your homework solutions publicly.
- Homework is graded on an A- (90), A (95), A+ (100) scale.
- The Midterm and Final test your understanding of the homework.
- All exams are in-person, on-paper with no notes permitted.
- If you fully understand all A- and A homework, the exams should be unsurprising and approachable.
- A+ homework is not explicitly tested on the exams, but may still be helpful for solidifying overall understanding.
- A Practice Exam is available. You are encouraged to complete it as we go.
