ICA-CP: 10/20/08

Good morning!

We have our birthday celebration planned for 11/24/08 for those having birthdays in August, September, October, and November.

As we begin the new quarter, here's a head's
up for grading.

Grading info for Q2 and S1:
1) Your S1 grade is the average of Q1 and Q2 quarter grades.
2) We do not have a final exam. However, we do have a semester programming project that is worth a maximum of 200 points. The semester programming project will be due by the end of class on the last day of class for the semester.
3) There will be 10 Question of the Week blogs in Q2. As usual, each is due by 5:00 PM of Friday each week and is worth 25 points. If it is late, 5 points will be taken off. So, the maximum will be 20 points if it is late. Since there are 10 weeks with a possible 25 points each week, blogs will contribute a possible 250 points toward your Q2 grade.
3) For Q2, there will be a possible 700 points possible. Based on the maximum possible of 700 points, below are the points needed for each grade:

A 672-700
A- 630-671
B+ 609-629
B 581-608
B- 560-580
