CS 2734 Computer Organization II -- Spring 2001
Grading Policy

Factors Determining Grade (with tentative percentages)
1. Laboratories (12, none dropped): ~20% (1.6666...% each)
2. Lab Quizzes (8 or 9, lowest dropped): ~15% (~2% each)
3. Two in-class exams (no make-ups): 35% (17.5% each)
4. Final exam (comprehensive): 25%
5. Attendance (< 20 recorded): < 5% (0.25% each)
Notes:
  1. Each laboratory is described on a separate web page. All labs will be counted for credit. (See Lectures and Assignments.)

  2. There will be 8 or 9 lab quizzes. The lowest grade will be discarded, so that only 7 or 8 will count. There will be no make-up quizzes, so you should be careful about missing a lab quiz. (See Lectures and Assignments.)

  3. I may use assigned seating for exams, either alphabetic or reverse alphabetic order. In general I don't give makeup exams, but just count the other course elements for greater credit.

  4. The final exam will be comprehensive, with greater emphasis on material after the second exam.

  5. Attendance will be monitored by recording those taking the lab quiz and by those picking up a lab quiz that is handed back. This should involve about 20 class periods that will count for attendance.

Revision date: 2001-01-19. (Please use ISO 8601, the International Standard Date and Time Notation.)
