How your grade will be determined
:
A final grade will be determined based on the following criteria:
- 20% - Course participation - includes attendance NOTE lateness counts so be ontime.
- 70% - Grades from Homework Assignments (7 @ 10% each)
- 10% - Grade from Final Exam
-
I may, at my discretion and depending upon the progress of the class, assign another homework assignment or lab whose grade may be used for extra credit .
NOTE: Extra credit assignments will affect the grade given for participation.
Grade Scale
:
A final grade will be determined based on the weighted average of your grade received times the percentage of credit for that item.
For example: If you attend all classes, are not late and participate in class you will get an A+ for attendance which equates to a 4.5.
Homework Assignments
:
Homework assignments are VS2008 project assignments that are to be handed in within one week of being issued(70% of grade):
-
Assignments are expected to be handed in within ONE week of being issued. NO EXCEPTIONS unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor.
-
NOTE: If your assignment DOES NOT compile, or, if it compiles but does not contain sufficient coding to warrant a grade, you will receive an F for the assignment.
-
Projects will be handed in as the zipped contents of your ASP.Net project directory.
This includes the project directory and all of its contents and subdirectories.
NOTE: After zipping, please unzip to a different location on your hard drive and test the opening and compilation of your projects.
-
Projects will be handed in via the CourseMgr website(link on homework assignment download tab) The assignment MUST BE ZIPPED, VIRUS FREE and follow the naming convention noted on the CourseMgr Assignment upload page(i.e. (LastName_GNbr_AssignmentName.zip) Example: Mayo_g99990_Assignment1.zip ). The instructor will download your assignment from the CourseMgr website, review your submission, and post a grade on the CourseMgr website. As soon as the assignment is graded by the instructor, it will be available for your review on the CourseMgr website. If there is any information that the student wishes to impart to the instructor concerning the assignment, they should be placed within a text or MS Word file with the filename of Readme (ex. Readme.txt or Readme.doc).
-
IMPORTANT: Your grade will be reduced by one grade point (Ex: an A+ becomes a B+, A becomes a B, etc.) if any of the following occur:
1) If a virus is detected on your submission. So, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you download the latest virus definitions and scan your submission PRIOR to submitting it for grading.
2) If your file is un-readable. So, it is strongly recommended that you unzip each file submitted for your assignments and test reading it on another PC before uploading it for grading.
3) If you hand in a zipped project that is incomplete - missing files or folders.
4) If the assignment is handed in late without making prior arrangements with the instructor.
Attendance policy
:
-
Attendance is required, and it means arriving to class on time, remaining for the duration of class, and staying awake.
-
For every three times you arrive late and/or leave early, an absence will be counted.
-
For every absence after two, your final grade may be lowered. As the student handbook states, “a student is entitled, without questions, to absences amounting to the equivalent of one week’s class time. Any absences in excess of that are handled individually by each instructor.”
One(1) weeks class time is one weekly session. Exceptions to the attendance policy may be made for documented emergencies.
In accordance with college policy, if you miss MORE THAN 1/5 of the semester (3 classes), then you may be withdrawn from the course. Reaching more than 3 absences after the withdrawal deadline will likely result in failure of the course.
The college-wide withdrawal and refund schedule is available online if you go to www.raritanval.edu, click on “Current Students” and then under “Information Access” (bottom left hand corner), click on “Withdrawals & Refunds.”
