---++ Course Content
---+++ Policies
   * [[OnLineHelp][Use of Internet Resources]]
   * [[AcceptableWork][Integrity]]
   * [[LatePolicy ]]
   * [[SoftwareStandards ]]
   * [[SoftwareDevelopmentReport ]]: A sample software development report: [[%PUBURL%/CenterForComputing/WebHome/SDRSample.pdf][A sample Software Development Report]]

---+++ Assignments
---+++Lab extras
For each lab, include the following
   1. In lessons learned:
      a. Something about Linux you learned while doing that lab
      a. Something about C that you learned that was not expected.  Something that would be expected might be the syntax of the for statement since that is the same as in Java
   1. In the security section
      a. One aspect of secure programming that your program addresses and how
      a. One aspect of secure programming that your program does not address and why.  The reason could be complex or as simple as there was not enough time to address it.
---+++Other
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]]
   * [[CSC322S2025Trees][Trees: huffman encoding]]
   * [[CSC322S2025Sorting][Sorting: tracking time with external sorts]]
   * [[CSC322S2025Sorting][Fix sorting]]: must turn in graded work from sorting lab and include in lessons learned a discussion on how you improved your coding efforts (not just your coding)
   * [[CSC322S2025Hashing][Hashing: comparing hash routines and collision handling methods]]
   * Graphing assignment (still TBD)
---+++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: programs (45%), exams (50%), and homework. etc. (5%)

   * Grade scale
      * 93% &lt;= average &lt;= 100% -&gt; A
      * 90% &lt;= average &lt; 93% -&gt; A-
      * 87% &lt;= average &lt; 90% -&gt; B+
      * 83% &lt;= average &lt; 87% -&gt; B
      * 80% &lt;= average &lt; 83% -&gt; B-
      * 77% &lt;= average &lt; 80% -&gt; C+
      * 73% &lt;= average &lt; 77% -&gt; C
