Programs    Submit your programs as follows:
                    1. Create a JAR file of all the .java files in your program.
                    2. Submit the JAR file through the course electronic Blackboard
                        drop box.
                    3. Some time before 4:30pm on the due date, drop off a printed
                        copy of your program source at the Computer Science front
                        desk.  Print on one side only, stapled in the upper left corner. 

Homework   Write your assignment using MS word.  In most cases, you can just edit your answers into the assignment.  Submit your Word file to the Blackboard drop box for your section.  If you choose not to use Word and Blackboard, write your homework on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, unfolded, and stapled in the upper left corner.  If you turn in larger paper, I reserve the right to trim it to 8 1/2 x 11 and grade what's left.

Exams    Dates: Please note the exam dates now.
                 Content: Each exam will cover everything covered in the course so far.
             Exam 1: everything up to, but not including, recursion.
             Exam 2: everything up to, but not including linked lists.
             Format: Closed book, notes, computers, etc.  You will write on the exam
             itself.  All you need to bring is something to write with.   Exams will take
             the full 75 minutes.

Final exam  Content: the entire course, but with slight emphasis on material that was
                  not covered on previous exams.  Note that finite state machines
                 (Chapter 14) may not be covered in class, but a general understanding
                 of FSMs will be assumed on the final.
                 Format: closed books, notes, etc.  You will write directly on the exam
                 paper, so you need bring only something to write with.  The exam will be
                 designed for about 150 minutes, but you will have the full 180 minutes.

Grades        You will be able to check your progress in the course through
                  Blackboard.  After every program, assignment, and exam, please
                  verify that the grade we have recorded for you agrees with what's
                  on your paper. 
                  Save all your graded work until the end of the semester.

Course grades  Course grades will be turned in to the Registrar's office within 72
                       hours of the end of the final exam.  The Registrar will post the
                       grades to the web where you can see them.  The Department
                       of Computer Science cannot give out grades.
