Comp 202 Rubric
(Subject to change)
GRADING: The breakup of grades is
tentatively set as follows
- Initial (background) take-home exam: 10%
- Two mid-term exams: 2 x 15 = 30%
- Several homework assignments: 30%
- Final exam: 30%
Class Participation: This class will
be far more enjoyable for everyone if all students come to class ready
and willing to discuss the material to be covered. I plan to reward
those who participate in class by increasing their final grade by up
to half a letter grade. I also reserve the right to add a similar
negative "reward" to those who routinely come to class late, read the
newspaper or sleep in class, etc.
Homework Assignments: Homework
assignments will be given approximately every two weeks. Students can
expect most home-work assignments to be rather
time-consuming. Students are encouraged to work together on the
problem sets. Note that this says work together -- copying
homework solutions from another student will be considered cheating
and dealt with accordingly. A more comprehensive statement on
allowable collaboration appears in the
Comp 202 Honor Code statement. Homework assignments are
due in class on the due date given. No late homeworks will be
accepted.
