Detailed Course Evaluation: Grades: You will have 2 examinations, comprising 40% of your total grade. Reading quizzes, class attendance and participation count 10%. Programming projects and lab assignments (all collectively referred to as lab work ) will count for the remaining 50%. I will arrive at your final letter grade by simply totaling examination grades plus the grade for lab work at their respective percentage of the final grade. You must pass the final exam to pass the course. MidTerm 20% Final 20% Programming 50% Reading quiz && In class exercises 10% There will be reading quiz for each chapter in the textbook. Reading quizzes will be graded homework due at the start of the next Chapter. Programming Assignments

Assignments and lab work: You must turn in all programming assignments to pass this course. You will be given due dates for each assignment in addition to the exact items you must turn in. Never come to class without your USB drives. KEEP UP TO DATE ON YOUR ASSIGNMENTS. YOU CANNOT PASS THIS COURSE UNLESS YOU COMPLETE ALL ASSIGNMENTS. Submitting your Assignments for Grading To be gradable work must be complete, produce the correct output and conform to the specification. Late assignments are penalized 5 points per day. Submitted work that is incomplete will be returned for re-working and will be assessed late points. I will compile and run your code. Required source files: TestDriver.cs This is a Console Main() consisting of Unit Tests. The test will use hard wired test values and externally calculated verifiable answers. <Classname>.cs Program.cs This is the class implementation. This is typically a user interactive Console Interface. Submission methods: 1 Copy your VS project folder to my USB flash drive (preferred method) 2 Email with attached zipped VS project folder. Must have a timestamp before deadline 3 Email with attached source files. Must have a timestamp before deadline Academic Honesty: Students are expected to complete all materials (examinations and exercises) on their own. Each student must code and debug his own program code (No help from other students. Help from the instructor or tutor is permitted). All the work that you turn in is expected to be your own. Both giving and receiving information about quizzes, projects, or test constitutes academic dishonesty. The penalty for academic dishonesty will be grade of F and dismissal from this course Working together on programming assignments is not permitted. However, helping a fellow student understand the intent of a specification is OK. Students who work together too closely together (e.g. designing their solution together) should be aware that this is a form of cheating called COLLUSION and is subject to academic penalties. The homework, programs, and exams must be the work of the student turning them in. Acts that exceed the bounds defined by the approved collaboration practices will be considered cheating. Such acts include: Copying solutions, code, or programs from someone else or giving someone else your solution, code, or programs. Getting help in debugging. (except from your instructor) Participating in a discussion group that develops a solution that everyone copies.

We urge everyone in the class to take appropriate measures for protecting one's work. You should protect your files, homework solutions sheets, etc as deemed reasonable. Studying for test together is permitted and encouraged. Please ask for advice if you are unsure about how to work together with your friend in a legal helpful manner It is always OK to "work together" with your instructor. Make-up Exam Policy: As a general rule, I do not give any makeup examination. Other Information: Please be aware that this course does have prerequisites and I must assume you have them. I won't be slowing down to teach something you are supposed to know. Class Participation. I expect you to ask questions about the assignments as well as about the material being covered during the lectures. I plan to give you some hands-on time during many of the class sessions. This is a good time for you to ask questions and make comments about any assignment. However, if you do not ask questions, I have no way of knowing what areas you may need some help on. You should also ask questions about items and topics you want to clarify. These questions and answers are going to be the best source of assignment feedback available to you. Reason is, there is no way that I can comment in detail on the individual assignments. If you do not ask questions, I am going to assume that you understand lectures, reading assignments, methods, etc. The remaining Standard Course information is available on line at: http://csci.hccs.edu/public/students/cdes/standard.htm Reading responsibility: C# Programming From Problem Analysis to Program Design Barbra Doyle Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Introduction to Computing Programming Your First C# Program Data Types and Expressions Method and Behaviors Making Decisions Repeating Instructions Arrays and Collections
