| Assignment | Weight |
|---|---|

| Two quizzes (10 points each) | |
| Midterm Exam | 15% (30 points) |
| Final Exam | 35% (70 points) |
| Weekly checkups | 10% (20 points) |
Students receiving more than 90% of possible points are guaranteed at least an A-, more than 80% at least a B-, more than 70% at least a C-, and more than 60% at least a D.
Students are expected to either attend classes (live or zoom) or view recorded sessions on a bi-weekly basis. In addition, weekly check-ups are required and may be delivered by zoom office hours or by email.
Students without internet access and an appropriately equipped computer will need to drop the course.
The midterm exam and the final exam must either be completed in class or as a proctored exam following the DePaul CDM policies.
When completing exams and quizzes, students may not collaborate with any other person. Collaboration with others on exams and quizzes will be considered a violation of the university's policy on academic integrity. Violators will receive a zero for the corresponding exam and will be reported as required by the policy.
Tests and quizzes can be made up with a serious documented excuse (e.g. illness, death in the family) and must be arranged as soon as possible. Arrangements involving other excuses require prior permission from the instructor.
The goal of assignments is to practice the concepts taught in class. You are expected to do your own assignments. However, some collaboration with other students is allowed for assignments and is even encouraged. The following types of collaboration are allowed:
- Discussing strategies for solving a problem
- Explaining why a script does not work
- Reviewing and testing someone else's programming script
- Using Python code provided by the instructor and texts
The following types of collaboration are not allowed:
- Copying someone else's Python code
- Literally telling someone what code to write
Engaging in these last two types of collaboration will be considered a violation of the university's policy on academic integrity. Violators will receive a zero for the corresponding assignment and will be reported as required by the policy.
Late assignments will be accepted up to three days late with a one point penalty. Assignments submitted more than 3 days after the due date will not be accepted without an excused absence cleared by the dean of students office.
Additional assignments for extra credit will not be offered.
All grade challenges must be submitted in writing and include an explanation why the given score or grade should be reconsidered.
