Follow the link for more contact information. - Exams and Assignments: There will be three exams at the points indicated in the syllabus. Each will count 30% of your grade for the course. The remaining 10% of your course grade will be based on the assignments for the course. For homework assignments, you will receive a grade of “ok” (full credit) or “not ok” (half credit) for each assignment you submit. You do not have to do your own work on the homework assignments, but the answers you submit must be correct to receive full credit. I will try to have a logic design project as one of the assignments this term. If I do, it will count 6% of your course grade and the exams will be reduced to 28% each.
- Extra Credit: If there is an extra credit option it will not be required, but will enable you to add up to five points to your course grade.
- Check Grades:
Follow the link, enter your 4-digit student ID, and see
what grades I have recorded for you so far this semester.
Note: exam and assignment grades become permanent two weeks after they are posted, so be sure to check your grades regularly to make sure there are no mistakes. - Discussion Forum: I encourage you to join the course discussion forum, which is open only to students registered in my courses. The main purpose of the forum is to exchange help on the assignments and in preparing for exams. I will award a small course grade bonus to students who participate actively in the forum — posting questions, and especially posting answers!
