Grading: three exams (55%), four homework assignments (40%), five lab assignments (5%)
Exams: Exams are scheduled for the following dates:
The lowest of your three exam grades will count as 15% of your final grade. The other two exams will count 20% each. No makeup exams will be given without a signed excuse from a physician.
Homework: Five programming problems will be assigned as homework. Each problem will be worth 10% of your final grade; your lowest homework grade will be dropped. Homework will be due at 12:30 p.m. on the due date. Late homework that is turned in within 24 hours will be penalized 10%. No homework assignment will be accepted after the 24-hour grace period. There will be no exceptions to this policy!
All homework must be turned in electronically. You will be given instructions on how to use the turnin program before the first homework assignment is due.
Labs: Lab sections will meet on Wednesdays in FL B17. You must attend the lab section for which you are registered. The first lab, on March 26, will serve as an introduction to workstations, editing with emacs, and program development; no grade will be assigned for this lab.
The next six labs will involve writing small Fortran programs. These programs must be turned in electronically, and are due within 24 hours of the beginning of your assigned lab time. In order to receive credit for a lab assignment, your program must be turned in on time, must be working correctly, AND you must have been present during the actual lab session (attendance will be taken). Only five of the six labs will be counted. There will be NO makeups for lab assignments.
Group Mail: Occasionally I may need to get in touch with members of the class via email. A class mailing list will be set up for this purpose. You are also welcome to use the class mailing list to correspond with other people in the class. The group name cs1001@cs can be used to distribute mail to all members of the class (including the TA and the instructor). The group name cs1001_ta@cs can be used to distribute mail to the TA and the instructor only. You should log on to wpi on a regular basis (daily) to check your email.
Web Pages: Check out the CS 1001 Web pages at
http://cs.wpi.edu/~ghamel/courses/cs1001/Homework, handouts, sample exams, course schedule, and other useful course material can be found here.
Cheating: Any work related to a graded assignment is to be done individually. It is cheating to (1) jointly write the code or algorithm for the solution to a programming assignment, (2) use or modify another person's code or solution, or (3) give your code, algorithm, or solution to another person. Anyone caught cheating will receive a grade of zero for the assignment in question, and possibly an NR in the course.
Syllabus: I reserve the right to change the order of topics or the dates of the exams listed on the syllabus, as necessary.
