Students are encouraged to work together on the programs, but YOU MAY NOT COPY ANYONE ELSE'S CODE.

Quizzes There will also be several in-class 15-minute quizzes based on the homework. These quizzes will make up 10% of your grade. (See the Course Schedule.)

Exams There will be two exams during the term and a final exam. The first two exams will be held in class, on Monday, March 2, and Monday, April 6, and will test your knowledge of the material covered in the past few weeks' classes.
