Computing
All programs should compile and execute on acpub Sun workstations. They should be compiled with g++ v. 2.7.2.1 You will need to alter your path to have access to this version of the compiler. On the acpub system you should be sure that /afs/acpub/project/cps/bin is in your path before /usr/local/bin. You can check the dot files (e.g., .cshrc in ~ola/newuser on the acpub system for how to ensure that your path is set up properly.
You should use xemacs to edit files. This editor has built in support for color-coding, supports multiple buffers, and is great at editing HTML files too! You might want to use the .emacs file in ~ola/newuser/.emacs which will ensure that your code is indented according to CPS conventions.
Sparc Clusters are found in Teer 106, 139 Hudson Hall, Soc/Psych 133, Bio-Sci 002CC, and Carr 125. All programs/projects will be submitted electronically.
Grading
| major programming assignments | 30% |
| minor programming assignments | 15% |
| written assignments | 5% |
| random quizzes | 5% |
| tests (2) | 25% |
| final | 20% |
Grading is done on an absolute, but adjustable scale. This means that there is no curve. Anyone earning 90% or more of the total number of points available will receive a grade in the A range; 80% = B, 70% = C, 60% = D. This scale may go down, but it will not go up. In order to earn an A+ you must do several of the optional assignments. These points count even if you don't earn an A+.
There will be several optional assignments. Completion of these can earn points towards raising a grade by a half-step, e.g., from C+ to B-. In some cases it may be possible to raise a grade by more than one step. Completion of some of the optional assignments is mandatory in order to earn an A+.
To receive a grade in the A range on programs you must exceed expectations. This means you must do everything required extraordinarily well or you must do more than is required and do this well. In other words, to earn an A you must do more than merely meet the requirements, you must go beyond them.
The tests will be closed-book, the final exam will be open book. The final exam may be used to bring up your test grade if you receive a higher grade on the final than your test average.
Random quizzes will be given out in class and then flipped-for at the next class. Optional quizzes may be given from time to time.
Late Assignments
Assignments turned in on the early due date will earn a 10% bonus. Assignments turned in on time receive no penalty. Grades drop 10% every two days an assignment is late. Assignments will not be accepted after two weekends have passed from the due date.
There is an in class exercise to practice some huff concepts.
