---+++ Policies
   * [[OnLineHelp][Use of Internet Resources]]
   * [[AcceptableWork][Integrity]]

   * [[SoftwareStandards ]]
   * [[SoftwareDevelopmentReport ]]: A sample software development report: [[%PUBURL%/CenterForComputing/WebHome/SDRSample.pdf][A sample Software Development Report]]

---+++ Assignments

There are two additional assignments involving reactions to current events. Announcements will *not* be made in class.  You are responsible to track these yourself.  Standard late policy will apply to these assignments.<br>You are to react to current events/publications.  A reaction to an article includes enough to convince me that you have read the entire article and not just the headline or first paragraph.  It should include a summary of what was said and your reaction.  Be sure to give a complete reference to the item.  These should be turned in as a hard copy in class within one week of the item being published.  You may pick when.  Each one does have a deadline.  The ones you pick must be unique to this course
   a. Write a reaction to one article in the ACM !TechNews. It must be programming related. This needs to be completed by midterm.
   a. Write a reaction to one article in XRDS. It must be programming related. This needs to be completed before the final.
Other assignments/quizzes may be made throughout the semester
---+++Labs
   * [[CSC322S2025StQu][Stacks, Queues, Linked List, Intro to C]]
---+++Extra credit
   * Extra credit will only be made available based on the entire class needs.  Such as an exam that most people did poorly on despite a good effort.  Also each lab may have the opportunity to earn some extra credit.  That should only be attempted if the regular lab is completed and done well.
---+++ Grades

Your grades are made up of:

   * Grade scale
      * 93% &lt;= average &lt;= 100% -&gt; A
      * 90% &lt;= average &lt; 93% -&gt; A-
