11.2.1.5. Question to turn pseudo-code to code (e.g. turn some pseudo-code into actual Java code)
11.3. 3 Midterms - 40 points total
11.3.1. All Midterms are closed book, no calculators
11.3.2. Midterm 1 - 10 points
11.3.3. Midterm 2 - 15 points
11.3.4. Midterm 3 - 15 points
11.4. 3 Projects - 25 points total
11.4.1. Project 1 - 5 points
11.4.1.1. Individual project
11.4.2. Project 2 - 10 points
11.4.2.1. Individual project
11.4.3. Project 3 - 10 points
11.4.3.1. Design your own project as a team of 3
11.4.3.2. Choose your own team members
11.4.3.3. Previous Projects
11.5. Extra Credit
11.5.1. Extra credit is already built into your grade.
11.5.2. See "How to Compute Your Grade".
11.6. What if I Miss a Lab or Quiz?
11.6.1. See "How to Compute Your Grade"
11.7. How to Compute Your Grade
11.7.1. In the class you can earn 110 points.
11.7.2. So grades are assigned as follows:
11.7.3. A+ = 90%
11.7.4. A = 86%
11.7.5. A- = 81%
11.7.6. B+ = 77%
11.7.7. B = 73%
11.7.8. B- = 68%
11.7.9. C+ = 64%
11.7.10. C = 59%
11.7.11. C- = 55%
11.7.12. D+ = 50%
11.7.13. D = 46%
11.7.14. D- =40%
11.7.15. Note: You get a 10 point boost to your grade at the beginning of class to make up for missed quizzes or labs or any other random acts of life. If your final grade is on the edge of a letter grade do not ask for any extra credit work. None will be given as you were already given 10 free extra points.
11.7.16. Since you get 10 free extra credit points, that means if you get 100/110 points that computes to 90% which will get you an A+.
12. The Labs
12.1. Installing and setting up Java and Eclipse
12.2. Bring your laptop to every class and every lab
12.3. Login into your lab account
12.4. Tues: Problem solving assignments

12.6. WARNING
12.6.1. No food or drink allowed in labs
12.6.2. No unplugging equipment in labs
12.6.3. Anyone caught doing it will be dismissed from lab and given ZERO points for their lab session that day.
13. Handing In Projects, Assignments
13.1. To upload your project
13.1.1. Go to your project folder and zip everything up into a single Zip file. Make sure all sound files and images are included as well as a copy of EZ.java and all other java files you wrote.
13.1.2. Turn in this zip file in Laulima under the Assignments folder (the same place where you downloaded the assignment in the first place).
13.1.3. If your zip file is over 100M place it in your Google Drive using your UH account and share the link and copy that URL into your project hand in.
13.1.4. As for the video URL, go to the Resources Folder on Laulima. You will find a subfolder for this project in which you can add your URL.
13.2. Projects & assignments will be handed-in by uploading to Laulima under the ASSIGNMENT by the deadline indicated for the assignment.
13.3. No late work accepted.
13.4. Missed quizzes cannot be retaken.
14. Expectation of Professional Conduct for Students
14.1. All students will be treated equally and fairly as adults throughout the course.
14.2. In order to maintain equality and fairness for all, NO form of cheating will be tolerated.
14.3. Taking the quizzes physically outside of the lab and/or lab time you signed up for.
14.4. Cheating is defined as:
14.4.1. Copying someone else's class project and claiming it as your own. (plagiarism)
14.4.2. Copying code you find on the Internet and claiming it as your own. (plagiarism)
14.5. If you are caught cheating in any midterm you will automatically get a ZERO.
14.6. If you are caught more than once cheating in any way, you will instantly FAIL the class and be brought up for disciplinary action with the university administration which could result in EXPULSION.
15. Frequently Asked Questions
15.1. What if I missed the first week or so of class?
15.1.1. If you miss class it is your responsibility to speak to another student to catch up. We cannot repeat the entire series of lectures for you. We do however have all class slides available for download.

15.2.1. No. See "How to Compute Your Grade" under Grading.
15.3. If I miss a class, quiz, assignment, midterm, project, do I need to give you a note?
15.3.1. No. See "How to Compute Your Grade" under Grading.
