Grades There will be 5 assignments, 5 Lab exercises, one project, a midterm and a final exam. Check your grades in the GradeBook. Check the distribution of grades in your class. Summary of grading scheme: Activity Weight Comments 5 Assignments 20% (4% each) Done at home and/or lab 5 Lab Exercises 5% (1% each) Done in the lab Mid-Term Exam 20% In class on Monday, February 23, 2004 Project 25% Group work Design and implementation of a small database application with a web interface, system using ORACLE, Java Servlets, and JDBC; demo at end of semester Final Exam 30% Wednesday, April 21, 2004 starting at 14:00 Final grades will be assigned in a way that the grade histogram approximates (as long as it is feasible) a normal (bell-shaped) curve. No re-examination except as per regulation. All appeals to the marks, except to that of the final exam, must be registered with the instructor or TAs before the scheduled final examination starts. Policy for Collaboration on Assignments and Project Although you are encouraged to collaborate, form study groups and discuss assignments, each student must come up with his/her own solution by him/herself. Students may be asked at anytime to explain/justify their solutions and if he/she is clearly unable to do so then a zero mark may be assigned to the assignment in question and, if warranted, the case may be treated as a potential case of misconduct. Do also not give machine-readable contents of your programs, or listings of any parts of the assignment answers to others so they can merely copy! The University's policy on academic dishonesty will be followed; see the UofA's code of student behaviour to know your rights as well as your duties.
