CSE 160 Grading and Course Policies
Spring 2004
Scott B. Baden

Grading

Your grade will be based on six assignments (50%), quizzes (15%) the midterm and final exams (35%). The quizzes will be given in section.

Homework assignments (50%)

There will be 5 or 6 homework assignments. The homework assignments will vary in form: problem sets, programming and experimentation. All work will be done individually. We encourage you to discuss the assignments with your classmates, but be sure to to work independently. If you aren't sure about this, see Professor Baden. Here are some notes on technical writing.

 

Quizzes (15%)

There will be three quizzes spaced evenly throughout the quarter. Quizzes will be given in section
 

Midterm (15%)

The midterm exam will be given approximately midway through the course. You will be responsible for all assigned readings, discussions in class, as well as the homeworks.

 

Final exam (20%)

The final exam will be comprehensive, and cover all course material.

Integrity of Scholarship

Plagiarism will not be tolerated in this course and will be taken very seriously. An incident of plagiarism could result in your expulsion from the University, and may include other penalties such as receiving an 'F' grade for the course.

In taking this course, you implicitly agree to abide by the Academic Integrity of Scholarship policies described in the following document:

Be sure to familiarize yourself with the document. If you have any questions, see Professor Baden.

Lateness and Grading appeals

Plan your work schedule around any planned absences from school and inevitable machine downtime. Late assignments will be accepted for up two (2) days after the deadline, subject to a 10% penalty for each day the assignment is late. This policy will not be waived except in cases of emergency or hardship. In such cases contact us as soon as you can. If you are planning to be away from school, be sure and contact us in advance to avoid penalty.

Re-grade requests will be accepted for one week only, starting from the day the assignment or exam is returned. After that, the grade is unchangeable. Re-grades should be requested only if there is clearly a mistake in grading, such as tallying your score or a missing score. Note that the whole assignment or exam will be re-graded; this could result in a lower score than before. Tampering with a graded assignment paper is considered a breach of Academic Integrity. The procedure for midterm re-grade requests is somewhat different: you must submit your re-grade request during class or office hours. No exam will be accepted for re-grading once it has been removed from the place it was returned.
