The class is scheduled to meet at 11 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, from January 19 through March 13 and from March 30 through May 8.
While the schedule for this course is expected to evolve, a Tentative Class Schedule is available.
Course Work will involve a combination of the following activities.
Ten labs require a formal write-up, explaining what work you have done,
showing any programming you have done, indicating tests or experiments run,
and giving your conclusions. Labs designated [Req] on the Tentative Class Schedule are required -- labs
designated [EC] may be done for extra credit. In order for
extra-credit labs to provide reasonable benefit, any such lab being
submitted for credit must be turned in within 2 weeks of when it is
scheduled for coverage in class. As with written homework, extra credit
may not raise a student's average on laboratories above 120%.
Many lab activities should be done in groups of two or three, although you
may work individually on labs after Lab 7. Only one write-up is expected
per group.
Deadlines are shown on the Tentative Class
Schedule , and work is due at the start of each class specified. A
penalty of 25% per class meeting will be assessed for any assignment turned
in late, even work submitted at the end of a class. However, an extension
of at least one class period is automatically granted if the HP network is
down for an unscheduled period for a period of three or more hours during
the week preceding the assignment. Normally, a program, project, or
laboratory write-up is due every third class meeting.
Absolute Deadline: All homework must be turned in by Friday,
May 8 at 5:00 pm;
The work in this course is split between individual and group work.
Students are encouraged to work together on all laboratory activities and
on the simulation project. However, since a primary goal of the course is
to enable students to develop their own programs, collaboration is not
allowed on supplemental problems, the CGI project, or tests. In addition,
students should note the department's policy regarding the role of user-consultants for Computer Science
153 .
laboratory reports or programs received after
that time will not be counted in the grading of the course.
