Your assignments for the course will be graded using the following point system:
EVAULATED ITEM | POINTS | QTY | TOTAL |
---|---|---|---|
Analysis | 10 | 10 | 100 |
Labs/Exercises | 30 | 10 | 300 |
Midterm & Final | 50 | 2 | 100 |
TOTAL | 500 |
Your grade for the class will be assigned by converting your total of points to a percentage grade: Your total points will be multiplied by 0.2 to compute the percentage grade (see scale below).
Example: Say Student Sally Sue earned a total of 450 points.
450 * 0.2 = 90
So, using the Percentage Grading Scale below, Sally Sue would receive a grade of 3.3. Note however that the 3.3 (or any other grade) could be rounded down to a 3.2 or up to a 3.4 depending on how close the percentage grade falls to the upper or lower bounds. In addition, this rounding may take into account other factors such as Sally's attitude and participation.
Note: For the attached CIS 200 LAB, your grade on your programming projects (LABS/EXERCISES) will be used alone to compute your grade in the CIS 200 LAB.
% GRADE | LETTER | GPA |
---|---|---|
96 - 100 | A | 4.0 |
93 - 95 | A- | 3.7 |
90 - 92 | B+ | 3.3 |
87 - 89 | B | 3.0 |
83 - 86 | B- | 2.7 |
80 - 82 | C+ | 2.3 |
77 - 79 | C | 2.0 |
73 - 76 | C- | 1.7 |
70 - 72 | D+ | 1.3 |
67 - 69 | D | 1.0 |
63 - 66 | D- | 0.7 |
62 -LESS | F | 0.0 |
In order to receive a passing grade, students must spend considerable time outside the classroom working on projects, completing reading assignments, and performing additional research. Any student not able to make the commitment in time needed to be successful should consider auditing the class.
In order to receive a passing grade, students can expect to spend about 12 hours each week attending class/watching recordings, reading the text and working on the assignments.
If you need help, get help before work is due. Contact me for an appointment, I am available outside of office hours as well.
All course work is expected to be done in a professional manner.
All work submitted on Canvas in a Word 2007 or newer document must use this file naming convention. Name the file with the Course Number, Item Type and Number, Last Name, and First Name.
Examples: CIS142_Lab3_Jones_Jill.docx, CIS142_Analysis8_Jones_Jill.dox, CIS142_Final_Jones_Jill.docx
Each Word document should contain the following information at the top of the first page:
Name: (e.g. John Doe)
Date: (e.g. February 19, 2015)
Course: (e.g. CIS 142)
Assignment: (e.g. Lab 4)
Submissions will be graded within one week of their due date or when submitted if late, with grades posted on Canvas.
Work turned in late will automatically have 5% of the points removed, per day late, prior to grading. Work over one week late will not be accepted for grading. No work is accepted after the last regular class meeting for the quarter.
If unexpected circumstances arise (i.e. family or medical emergencies, military or service obligations), contact the instructor before the assignment due date/time to negotiate a mutually agreed upon alternative submission plan in advance.
Make-up exams are available only upon arrangement prior to an exam date.
Plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses and may be punished by failure on exam, paper or project; failure in course; and or expulsion from the College. For more information refer to the Student Code of Conduct.
Unless otherwise noted your assignments are individual assignments and I expect that you will work on your own. At any point during the quarter, you should be able to explain or duplicate any of your solutions/answers for your assignments. I reserve the right to refuse to accept any assignment if you cannot demonstrate the ability to perform similar work when asked, or if you cannot explain your answer or approach that you have used. I encourage you to work with one another to internalize and discuss general concepts and approaches, but your work must be your own.
Attendance and success in this class have a strong correlation. New concepts tend to build on previous concepts rather than stand on their own. If you have to miss a class I suggest you view the available recording and network with other students to gather notes. Course details will be provided in lecture that may not be available in Canvas or the textbook. Utilize my office hours to ask for assistance. I am happy to make appointments outside of my listed hours.
It is expected that students will be tolerant of others' views, be respectful in dealing with others, and use standard English in their communications, both written and verbal. Disruptive behavior will not be tolerated. Please review Olympic College's WAC 132C-120 policies. The various WACs have been passed by the state of Washington and are Washington State law that govern the behavior of the administration, faculty, and students.
This is a combined Web-Enhanced/Online class incorporating recorded presentations in a classroom in Bremerton and the online classroom in the Canvas Learning Management System. Learning will be delivered in presentations, discussion, and projects. Assignments and exams must be submitted through Canvas.
Have an alternate plan in case you have issues with your normal internet access and related software and hardware that might affect your ability to complete this class. Please notify me immediately if this is happening to you. You may call me, send an email or use a school computer.
It is expected that the student will have Eclipse Luna for Java 1.7 or newer, or the ability to install it on their machine, and internet access. It is available on the machines in TEC-212 and the Tutoring Lab. If you wish to use an alternative Java programming environment, contact the instructor prior to class starting.
A basic understanding of and manipulation of the Windows 7 interface is expected. In particular, students should know how to use Windows Explorer to manipulate (save, copy, delete, move, etc.) files, how to get access to the Internet, how to use your browser, how to fill out Web forms, how to use email (including attachments), and similar basic computer and Web skills.
If you do not feel comfortable with these basic skills, it is recommended that you consider taking CIS 107 or CIS 150 prior to taking this class to build computer literacy.
If you wish to withdraw from this course, please inform me of your decision and file the appropriate paperwork with the Office of Registration and Records. If I have no data/grades to work with, an “F” will be given unless you have been in contact with me previously to make arrangements for an Incomplete; my understanding is that this has an impact upon Veteran funding.
First, if you need help, get help early and often - if you wait it can become too late.
Here are some resources to get help in this class:
