CS 173 [B], Fall 2012

Grading Policy

The graded work includes the following:

• Pre-lecture quizzes and lecture participation (5%)
  • The pre-lecture quizzes are posted on moodle. i>Clicker is used to register lecture participation. Your points from these activities would be scaled to a total of 200, and if you get 100 or more, you get full 5%.
• Homework (20%)
  • We'll drop your lowest scoring assignment in calculating your total over all homework assignments. All weekly homework assignments carry the same weight (100 points). When there are bonus questions in a homework, any points you get from those questions simply add to your total (but your total in each assignment will be capped at 100 points). Collaboration is allowed. Please find more details at the homework page.
• Recap Quiz (10%)
  • After we return your graded homework, there will be a short quiz on moodle, based on the same material. You should not collaborate on this quiz (your questions may be different from that of the others). But you may consult your graded homework and other course material. Announcements about the recap quizzes will also be posted on the homework page.
• Exams (65%)
  • Two mid-terms worth 20% each, and a final worth 25%. More details will be announced in class and posted on the Exams page at the appropriate time.

Grade posting

We will be using moodle for online grade posting.
