Grading:
There are 250 possible points in the course: 12 homeworks and 20 laboratories at 5 points each (160); a mid-term quiz for 40; and a final for 50 points.  Grading will follow a 90-80-70-60 scheme which may be loosened slightly due to the subjectivity of partial credit.  Historically grades have been 45%-As, 35%-Bs, 15%-C & D, and 5%-Other.

Objectives:
This course introduces the student to the concepts of programming using the JAVA language.  Further the student is introduced to various computation methods and platforms used in the IMET department.  The student is expected to progress by self study from this base of knowledge.

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 especilly 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.
