  14. Assignments • There will be 5 assignments during the term. Each will be posted on the course web site at the appropriate time. • The posting and due dates for assignments are on the course website • The solutions must run on the computers provided in the lab. • TA for DGD x, Lab x and marking x is not normally the same person (x=1, 2, 3, 4)

  15. Assignments • Assignment solutions are to be submitted for marking. Therefore, you must prepare your own solution set. • You must not work on an assignment with another individual or individuals. • However, if you have difficulty with part of an assignment, you may discuss potential solutions with your teaching assistant or another student.

  16. Lab schedule • Start of labs • Week of September 14 • CSI1306E: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu 16:00-17:30pm • Start of tutorials • Week of September 14

  17. Course Web Sites • The course web site for submitting assignments is at http://csi1306.telfer.uottawa.ca/. • You will also be able to download files of the lecture slides, homework and assignments from http://docdepot.management.uottawa.ca • Resubmissions allowed • UNTIL DUE DATE/TIME • Late submissions allowed • 25% deduction for any late assignment • Maximum delay six days.

  18. Homework • Homework will be posted on one of the course web sites prior to each tutorial, or at the end of corresponding lecture • Homework consists of questions related to the lecture material from the previous week • Homework is not to be submitted for marking • You can review solutions to the homework questions with your teaching assistant during tutorials

  19. Textbook (recommended but not required) • Simple Program Design, A Step-by-Step Approach, third edition, Lesley Anne Robertson, Course Technology, Thomson Learning.

  20.

  21. Lab Computers • Your username and password to log on to one of the computers in the lab are derived as follows: • Username: first initial of your surname + 7 digit student number • Password: date of birth in the format YYMMDD • Remember to change your password after your initial log on • Technical Environment • Windows XP, Office XP

  22. Antivirus Software • The University owns a campus-wide license for Norton Antivirus software • You can download it for use on your home computer at www.ccs.uottawa.ca/downloade.html

  23. Marking Algorithm A = mark on assignments (out of 100) M = mark on midterm exam (out of 100) F = mark on final exam (out of 100) •  EM = 0.75F +0.25M •  To pass the course, EM must be equal to, or greater than, 50

  24.  Marking Algorithm • To calculate the final letter grade (FLG) for the course: • LG(EM) = letter grade corresponding to the numeric mark EM • next_up_LG(EM) = letter grade immediately above LG(EM) • next_down_LG(EM) = letter grade immediately below LG(EM) • If EM >= 50, then • FLG = next_up_LG(EM) if A >= 75 • FLG = LG(EM) if (50 <= A <75) • FLG = next_down_LG(EM) if A < 50, unless causes a failure, in which case FLG =LG(EM)

  25. Calculation of Final Mark

  26. Additional Material • Lecture notes have Additional Material sections • Information that MAY NOT be covered in class • Students ARE responsible for learning this material • Homework is found at the end of lecture material • Answers will be provided in tutorial sessions

  27. Homework • Where is the Assignment Schedule Posted? • What is Homework URL? • What is your TA’s Name? • Log into the School of Management Network • Get PowerPoint Slides • Change Password • Log into the Homework Server • Change Password
