TAs will assign students into groups in the labs. 2. All students in the same group should get the same score.3. Every group will be required to work each lab assignment until it is completed.4. Completion may require lab work beyond the scheduled lab hours. 5. All members of a properly functioning group should receive full lab credit. Lab Activity rules0-9There will be three MPs (programming assignments), that students will have to work on their own, assigned during the semester. There is an MP link on the course website that will display the assignments along with the due dates. The week before the MP assignment is due there will be evening MP help sessions held in our labA checker program will be provided for each MP. The checker program is the same program that the TAs use to compute the students MP score. Since we provide students with a checker, if the checker doesn’t run on a students’ submission then the MP score is a zero. MPs- Machine Problems0-10How do I get my questions answered?1) discuss with fellow group members.2) if group discussion fails to answer your question, ask your Lab TA. Lab assignments:contact TA by email or at office hourscontact Dr. Gambill MPs, Exams and Lecture Notes:0-11•A Book on C, 4th edition (recommended)by Al Kelley, and Ira Pohl, ISBN: 0-201-18399-4•Programming with MATLAB for Engineers (recommended)by James B.

A re-grade will be performed on the entire Prelab/Lab/MP/Exam and can lower the score! In any appeal procedure it is the student's responsibility to keep possession of his/her Prelab/Lab/MP/Exam. In the process of a re-grade a student has to arrange for a TA to modify the gradein the presence of the student. A student should not hand over any material to the TA for keeping.Therefore, a lost or missing Prelab/Lab/MP/Exam is no reason for a modification of a grade.Grades0-15725 – 750 A+700 – 724 A675 – 699 A-650 – 674 B+625 – 649 B600 – 624 B-575– 599 C+550 – 574 C525 – 549 C-500 – 524 D+475 – 499 D450– 474 D-< 450 FGradesThe course grades are based on the above fixed cutoffs.

A link to find out how to obtain this software and install this software is:http://it.engineering.illinois.edu/user-guides/remote-access/connecting-ews-linux-fastxHowever, this software is made available as a convenience. Students may not use the fact that the FastX software doesn’t work for them or that they couldn’t login to the FastX server as an excuse for a late assignment.FastX0-17CS101 students may participate in the James Scholar Honors program. First, students must complete and submit a form to the Engineering College office. This form may be obtained from your department secretary.Honors students will be assigned a programming assignment beyond the three MPs assigned in CS101. View the Honors page on the course website for details. Working the Honors assignment has no effect on your CS101 course grade.Honors0-18Should you miss a midterm exam or an MP for a legitimate reason such as severe illness you will need to provide a verification letter from the Emergency Dean:300 Turner Student Services Building 610 East John Street Champaign, IL 61820(217) 333-0050 ( Emergency Dean ) The letter must state that you have shown proof of your absence.Absence0-19If you miss an exam or other assignment worth points for the course then we assume that you will take the makeup exam or turn in the assignment on the first week-day (Monday – Friday) you are back to school as indicated in your note from the Emergency Dean unless we specifically grant you an extension. Any extension given by CS101 staff must be given via email (no verbal approvals for
