Requirements

Summary of grading criteria:

• 5% - Quizzes
• 45% - Homework assignments
• 5% - Discussion participation
• 22.5% - Midterm
• 22.5% - Final

Final letter grades will be based on the relative distribution of total scores and not on any preset numerical grade.

Quizzes

Several quizzes will be given on RamCT throughout the semester to help you apply the course material to short exercises.

Assignments

Assignments will focus on a semester project; each assignment will be a portion of the project. Assignment deliverables include requirements, use cases, domain models, design models, program code, and test code. Each assignment needs to be turned in electronically by 11:59 pm on the due date.

Discussions

Students must actively participate in the discussion forums on RamCT. Merely having one sentence that says, for example, "I agree with everyone", is not enough to get a grade.

Exams

There are two exams (midterm and final).
