Programming assignments will be carried out in a prescribed high-level language. Limited instruction in the use of this language will be provided. You are assumed to have previous experience with one or more high-level languages and will be expected to acquire the language skills necessary for this course with a minimum level of instruction.

The course will include regular homework and programming assignments (please see my comments on collaboration and programming). There will be NO CREDIT given for late assignments (without an excused absence) - turn in as much as you can.

Reading assignments should be completed before the lecture covering the material. Not all reading material will be covered in the lectures, but you will be responsible for the material on homework and exams. Quizes over the assigned reading may be given at any time.

If you have specific physical, psychiatric, or learning disabilities and require accommodations, please contact the Disability Services Office as early as possible so that your learning needs may be appropriately met. You will need to provide current documentation of your disability to the Disability Services Office. For more information, go to ds.georgefox.edu or contact Rick Muthiah, Dean of the Center for Teaching and Learning (ext. 2314)

The final grade will be based on:

• 55% Homework Assignments
• 5% Reading Quizes
• 20% Midterm
• 20% Final
