Revu -- 19 questions and answers -- 38 points

Hand in a review question on the assigned reading plus your answer to the question. This will be graded and can earn a maximum of 2 points.

If there is no review questions assigned then you should write down a question you want answered instead.

Class -- 20 classes -- 40 points

Participation 2 points. 1 Point if on time, 1 point for taking part until dismissed

9 Projects -- 45 points max

Each "iteration" is worth a maximum of 5 points. It must be submitted on time -- even if incomplete, incorrect, failing tests, or not running. All but the last project can be resubmitted (once) if it doesn't get an A.
(P1): Chapter 1 [ projects.html#P1 ]
(P2): Chapter 2 [ projects.html#P2 ]
(P3): Chapter 3 (no loops) [ projects.html#P3 ]
(P4): Chapter 3 (with at least one loop) [ projects.html#P4 ]
(P5): Chapter 4 (with a function) [ projects.html#P5 ]
(P6): Chapter 5 (with a class) [ projects.html#P6 ]
(P7): Resubmit P5 as a multifile program [ projects.html#P7 ]
(P8): Resubmit P6 with a UML diagram drawn on it [ projects.html#P8 ]
(P9): Chapter 6 (vector or arrays) [ projects.html#P9 ] (no resubmit, appears on the final).

8 Quizzes -- 96 Points max

Each quiz can earn a maximum of 12 points. In total only 96 points can be earned from Quizzes. Each quiz will test previously covered topics. Any quiz or the final can refer back to your last project or to work done in class or a laboratory.
(Q1): Quiz 1: Syntax and Semantics of a Simple C++ program
(Q2): Quiz 2: Syntax and Semantics of Variables and Arithmetic
(Q3): Quiz 3: Objects and/or Strings
(Q4): Quiz 4: Control structure and Algorithms
(Q5): Quiz 5: for statements
(Q6): Quiz 6: Classes, member functions, objects, etc
(Q7): Quiz 7: Classes and the UML
(Q8): Quiz 8: Vectors

All quizzes are likely to have a question about the project that you have just handed in.

Bonus points

You can make up lost course work points by attending a CSE dept seminar [ ../seminar/ ] and emailing me a short report describing the seminar within 24 hours of the seminar. It must say who presented, what they presented and what you thought about it.

Course work -- 300 points maximum

The maximum score for points before the final is 300 points.

Final -- 200 points maximum

The final is worth a maximum of 200 points.

Note that final questions are based on questions in quizzes. They may also cover information from the readings in the book, material covered in class, labs, or your own projects.
