Class Participation

100 pts

10 in-class lab exercises (each 10 points). I will collect these and give you credit for doing them, but they must be done in class to receive credit. In other words, you will not be able to make it up if you miss any one of these class participation exercises.

Programming Homework

300 pts

6 programming assignments (each 40 - 60 points). A detailed description of the assignment and due date information will be posted on the iLearn website.

Online Learning through iLearn • A flexible online teaching tool through https://ilearn.sfsu.edu is extensively leveraged to facilitate your learning process. Not only class notes are posted here, but also must your assignments be submitted online through iLearn system. About Homeworks: • You have to submit your assignments through iLearn. Please DO NOT Email me your homework. In other words, emailed homework will receive 0 point. •

Homework assignments will be available during the semester with rigid due dates. Unless otherwise specified, each assignment must be submitted before 7:00PM on the due date. Late assignments will receive 0 point.

•

You must do your own programming. You may consult with others or reserved instructor manual concerning programming solutions, but you must do your own coding. If you have received substantial assistance from another student, please acknowledge that person’s help in the comments part at the very beginning of your program.

•

Do not give your code to other students. Both copying others’ code and giving away code are considered to be academic dishonesty. And both will receive 0 point for the assignment.

•

You must use good programming style. You should use meaningful identifiers, consistently indent blocks of code, and make appropriate comments in your code.

•

All programs should have comments that conform to the Javadoc conventions. All major classes and methods should include a description of the code. You should also include a description about author, date and intention of the assignment at the very beginning of the program.

•

Computers do go down, networks fail, and data gets destroyed or lost the night or hour before a program is due. Please plan ahead and back up all of your work!

About Exams • There are three exams, they are open-book and open notes. The format of each exam may involve multiple choices, fill-in blank, debugging, and coding. •

A scantron (form No. 882-ES, green color) will be required in the exams. Please write your name on both the exam paper and the scantron. Submit both the exam paper and the scantron before leaving the classroom.

•

You are expected to take each exam at the scheduled time. If you have to miss an exam for any legitimate reason, you must write me a formal letter to explain your excuses and request a make up exam at least three days in advance. In addition, such written requests must be supported with legitimate evidence/documents from relevant authorities, such as doctors, policemen, managers, etc. The format and content of the make-up exam may be altered at my discretion.
