Grade Policy:
EXAMS:The will be a midterm worth 100 points and final worth 200 points. (60% of grade)

There are no make up exams. Make up exams may be granted in the case of extreme and documented situations. Make up exams may differ in style and content from the exam given in class and may occur at a later time in the semester. It is my discretion that in certain circumstances, doubling of another exam may replace the missing exam.

PROGRAMS: There will be 100 points worth of homework programs. Programs are due one week after they are assigned unless otherwise stated. (20% of grade)
PROJECTS:Projects are programs that are larger in length. There will be 100 points of projects. Projects will be due roughly 2 weeks after they are assigned. (20% of grade)
No program or project will be accepted once the rest of the class assignments have been graded and returned. A comment and date will be placed on the assignment page stating that a particular assignment has been graded. Assignments submitted after the due date but prior to the assignment being graded may be subject to a late penalty.
