CSE132 Grading Policy

Your course grade in CS132 will be based on a weighted average of the following three parts:

Lab Assignments (approximately 55%)

Lab assignments are designed to provide practical experience with central topics of the course. For each lab assignment, you will have lab conferences with the instructor or TA to explain your design, demonstrate your working solution and to present of your implementation. Your presentations at these conferences are part of your grade on the assignment. See the grading rubric for details. See the late policy for how turning in assignments late will affect your grade.

Exams (approximately 30%)

There will be two exams (the midterm and the final) to evaluate your understanding of concepts covered in lecture and in the readings. There will be some class time devoted to reviewing for each exam.

Quizzes (approximately 15%)

Quizzes will cover material from lecture and the reading assignments. Any question related to the lecture or reading assignments to date is fair game on a quiz. Quizzes will occur during class (most likely at the beginning or end of class), and may not be announced in advance. Since attendance is required, a missed quiz will count as a zero. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped from your quiz average.

Your course grade will be determined approximately as follows.

95 and up     A+
90-95         A
85-90         A-
80-85         B+

70-75         B-
60-70         C
