Final Examination

The final exam is a comprehensive evaluation that tests the student on all topics studied in this class with focus on parts covered after the midterm. A mix of question format is usually employed including coding problems, terminology, multiple choice and other formats.

Grading Policy

•  Extra credit options: not available but lowest quiz or homework may be dropped.

•  List of the percentage weight assigned to various class assignments.

•  Penalty (if any) for late or missed work.

•  List of the percentage weight assigned to various class assignments:

   45% Quizzes/Homework (weekly)

   25% Midterm: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 6:00-8:45 pm.

   30% Final: Thursday, May 25, 2021 at 5:15-7:30 pm.

No make-ups exams except in case of verifiable emergency circumstances; once you are back in school, you need to take the exam within a week assuming that you provide documents to justify your absent and it is for a short time. No credit for any late turnings.

Grade bands:

A+ : > 94 A : 90 - 94 A- : 85 - 89

B+ : 80 - 84 B : 75 - 79 B- : 70 - 74

C+ : 65 - 69 C : 60 - 64 C- : 55 - 59

D+ : 50 - 54 D : 45 - 49 D- : 40 - 44

F : < 40 (0.5 - 0.9) = 1 (0.1 - 0.4) = 0

Important: As an example, a student with a final grade of 96 / 100 will have a letter grade of A (not A+). I.e. no special handling of border situations will be performed and the grading scale above will be followed strictly.

“A minimum aggregate GPA of 3.0 Studies (R, S, & V) shall be required of all students as a graduation requirement.”

Classroom Protocol

See class policies to be posted in the class website.

CMPE 180 A / Spring 2021, Course Schedule (Schedule subject to change with fair notice via the class website).

Important NOTE:

In rare occasions, the instructor may decide to administer evaluations where students are allowed to use their “paper notes”-(NO BOOK OR ELECTRONIC COPIES), so it is in your best interest to attend to class and take good notes; they may be handy in such situations.

Project grades are assigned to the whole team and each member gets the same grade unless a given member is suspected of not doing any work, in such cases the person could receive zero on the project and the report if the person fails to answer questions on her share of the work or the overall project structure.
