My web page: http://www.unf.edu/~broggioTesting and Grading: Three Exams - each 25% of final grade*Programming Projects – 25% Make-up tests will not be given unless an extreme documented emergencyarises.Programming Projects:There will be approximately five projects which will be of varyingcomplexity during this semester. Every attempt has been made to have acomplete description of each requirement. However, if I have not beenclear or if you have any question, please do not hesitate to ask. We willalso discuss the projects during class time as may be required. Do not wait until two or three days before the assignment is due to study the requirements to see if you understand them. You are too late. Be smart and ‘front end’ these assignments.Grade Guidelines: 0. Every one wants an A. Frankly, I would be pleased to record A grades foreveryone. Unfortunately this rarely happens. But here is the simple key to your‘earning’ an A – and, I might add, more importantly - learning the material that isessential to your success as a graduate and professional in this field. 1. DON’T MISS CLASS! If you are one who misses classes to study for other courses or for other reasons, these are NOT classes that you want to miss. There is simply 2too much material passed on. If you must miss class, then do NOT assume that the slides are substitutes for the lecture. They are not. I must confess to you that I detest unexcused absenteeism and havenever been able to fully understand the many weak arguments I haveheard through the years. While you do pay for the course, be smart andhear / learn all you can.My experiences indicate that missing a number of classes results in a full earned grade reduction. In the Fall 2006, I cannot recall the number of points that I made in class or sent out via email that then appeared on a short quiz or a major exam that were missed. There are a number of important points that are discussed in class or mentioned in class that, if unheard, cost points in exams. I will at times send you solutions to problems via email. These too were later found in exams / quizzes only to be often missed by those who fail to attend class and/or fail to regularly check email. Enough said.2. BE SMART: DOWNLOAD SLIDES AND BRING TO CLASS! My lectures will come from these slides (my handwriting is atrocious!),which are updated every semester with the latest information. They arenot sufficient in themselves as sources of study. Bring your copies toclass and mark on them as I discuss the materials in class. These slidesare on my web page for you so you don’t have to write volumes of notesduring lecture and you can listen. Take advantage of this opportunity. While my notes from last semester are currently posted, I almost always modify them prior to class. Normally the day before class or early the morning of class they become fixed. This is the best time to download.3. DON’T MISS THE READING ASSIGNMENTS! BE READY FOR CLASS.You will be selling yourself short and not get the full impact of the lectures and the broadening presented to you in the readings if you fail to do the readings. Many graduates cite that data structures was one of the most important classes they took.4. WORK SMARTER – NOT HARDER!‘ Front-end’ everything. This means to jump on assignments once theyare in scope. Don’t put them
