26 Final Exam

EXAMS

Exams will be comprehensive and closed-book. All exams will be held during regular class time. The final exam will be held Monday January 26, 1998.

HOMEWORK

There will be several homeworks, primarily programs, during the semester. Due to the short length of the winter session, there will be a minimal amount of time allocated for each: DON'T FALL BEHIND, it could be costly. Due to holidays, this semester will be perilously short. Homeworks will be weighted according to their difficulty and importance. You may discuss assignments with others, but you are only permitted to hand-in individual effort (e.g. solutions, programs).

GRADES

Course grades will generally be determined using the following components and weights:


	Midterm		25
	Homework	40
	Final Exam	35
While a normal (boring) Bell Curve is expected, the instructor reserves the right to construct one, to consider class participation, relative improvement, to give all A's or flunk the whole class (where appropriate).
