Assessment

You will have numerous opportunities to practice and demonstrate mastery of the materials covered in this course.  It is up to you to keep current on all readings and assignments (including in-class announcements).  If you fall behind, you will most assuredly fail this course!

Grading will be based upon the following scale:

A	>= 90%
B	80% - 89%
C	70% - 79%
D	60% - 69%
F	< 60%

Assignment	Portion of Grade
Final Project	45% (group based)
Three Monthly Tests	45% (15% for each of 3 tests given approximately once a month)
Take-Home Assignments	10% (unknown quantity. Equal weight each)

 

The actual percentages for the Final, Monthly Tests and Assignments might shift slightly do the number of assignments that are actually given out versus planned.

 

The final for this class is comprehensive. In addition the grade on the final can be used to redeem one (and only one) monthly test grade. So if your grade on the final is higher than your lowest monthly test grade, then that monthly test grade will be replaced with the grade from the final. This policy is designed to give a student the chance to improve one poor monthly test showing.

 

Partial credit may be given, but do not rely upon this – complete all problems for full credit.   Please be advised that NO CREDIT WILL BE GIVEN FOR LATE ASSIGNMENTS. If class is to be canceled or delayed, I will notify you via e-mail as soon as possible; we will make up any missed class topics during the following class.

Make up exams will only be given if arrangements are made before the test is given. 

 

Homework assignments may be worked on collaboratively, and you may make use of any resource at your disposal.  These assignments will be graded for correctness, but full credit will be given if you attempted the problem (i.e. wrote down a reasonable solution).  

 

Words of Wisdom (TAKE THIS PART SERIOUSLY!)

We expect your active participation in class.  Class attendance is expected because it’s much easier to learn if you’re coming to class and asking questions in lecture about things that confuse you.

Start assignments early.  This way, you can ask questions and clarify things that are confusing.  Often, I’ll make assignments intentionally “open” so that you can come up with creative solutions, but this also means it’s often easy to misread what I’m looking for in the correct solution.  Better to ask and learn than to get a low grade!

Your grade in this course is determined completely on performance, not on effort (except for homework assignments).  If you cannot keep up with the pace of this class, please talk with your professor as soon as possible. 

Academic Misconduct

If a student is found obtaining or granting inappropriate help in this course on any assignment (test, quiz, exam, homework, etc.) he will receive an F in the course.  The offense will go on permanent record with the university.  If this is not the student’s first academic misconduct offense at CCSU, he will be recommended for expulsion from the university.  This is in full accord with CCSU’s policy, and we encourage you to read and review the university’s policy in your student handbook.

ITP Choice Information
