Grading
For 400-level students: The total possible points (including the 3 extra attendance points) sum to 113. The grading scheme is shown in the figure above. If your grade is on the boundary (e.g., 93), you will get the higher letter grade (e.g., A). Effectively, this grading scheme contains 13 points as extra credit points. This is equivalent to a letter grade boost. No other alterations to grades will be made. There is no curve.
For 200-level students: The grading scheme is the same as 400-level students, but your final grade will be increased by 10 points. This means you will get A if your original grade is greater than or equal to 83. No other alterations to grades will be made. There is no curve.
Assignment Submission
Each assignment must be submitted in the way specified in the particular assignment. Assignments are due at the start of the day specified (i.e., 0:00 AM). Late assignments will receive a grade reduction of 20% of the full grade each day.
Attendance
Class discussions are very important for learning. Do your best not to be late.
Academic Dishonesty
Do your own work. Academic dishonesty will be dealt with according to the University of Rochester's Academic Honesty Policy. Rules that I find most applicable in the past are:
- For assignments to be completed invidually, you cannot copy code or writeups from other students or external resources. You cannot let others copy your code or writeup either. That said, you are encouraged to discuss ideas with other students, TAs and myself.
- For the final report, you cannot copy phrases with more than 5 consecutive words from other resources. When paraphrasing a work in your report, cite the work appropriately.
