Grading
There are 200 possible points in the course: 12 homework/application problems and 15 labs at 5
points each, a quiz for 25 points, and a final for 40 points.  Grading will follow a 90-80-70-60
scheme which may be loosened slightly due to the subjectivity of partial credit.
 
Objectives
This course introduces the student to the concepts of programming using the FORTRAN
language.  Further, the student is introduced to various computation methods and platforms used
in the IMET Department.

General
The schedule and procedures in this syllabus are subject to change in the event of extenuating
circumstances.  Any student with difficulty in meeting these requirements should contact the
instructor as soon as possible for an attempt to resolve the difficulty.  This especially includes
dates the student will be unavailable for class or lab.

All students are expected to meet the pre-requisites of the course prior to the first day of class.  If
you do not, contact the instructor or your advisor immediately.
