| V. Evaluation: | |||||||||
| A. Testing Procedures: | |||||||||
| Exams will comprise 50% of the final grade. Three exams will be given during the course of the semester. The first two exams are worth 150 points. The final exam is comprehensive and is worth 200 points. There will be no make-up tests unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor. | |||||||||
| B. Laboratory Expectations: | |||||||||
| Programming assignments will be made during the course of the semester. A late penalty may be imposed on any overdue assignment. Failure to satisfactorily complete all labs may result in a grade of F in the course. Labs will count for 400 points (40%) of the final grade. | |||||||||
| C. Field Work: | |||||||||
| N/A | |||||||||
| D. Other Evaluation Methods: | |||||||||
| A number of quizzes and short assignments will be assigned throughout the semester. Most of these will be announced in the class/lab in which they are to be completed and graded. These assignments will not be accepted late and will count for a total of 100 points. | |||||||||
