Grading: Final grades will be based on your performance on: 2 in-class exams (25% each) , several programming assignments (25% total) and 1 project (25% total).

Programming Assignments: 5 programming assignments will be assigned during the semester. Note that their due dates are subject to change. Before starting any of the programming assignments you must read the overview. You may also want to re-read this overview before starting each programming assignment.

Programming Assignment 1 ; Due: Th 1/27, 11:00PM (Demonstration Application - Basics)
Programming Assignment 2 ; Due: Su 2/6, 11:00PM (Application Framework - Document Basics; Demonstration Application - Document Presentation)
Programming Assignment 3 ; Due: Th 2/17, 11:00PM (Application Framework - Open, Quit)
Programming Assignment 4 ; Due: Su 2/27, 11:00PM (Application Framework - Close, New, Print; Demonstration Application - Options)
Programming Assignment 5 ; Due: Th 3/10, 11:00PM (Application Framework - Save, SaveAs)

Make sure you read and understand all of the policies related to programming assignments. Programming assignments may not be submitted after the due date/time (in other words, you will receive a grade of 0 on any programming assignment that is not submitted on time).

Team Project: Each student must complete a (team) project.

Overview

A Team Evaluation Form (which will be made available to you just before the project ends) must be completed and submitted by each member of the Team individually by 5/11 at 5:00PM. Make sure you read and understand all of the policies related to projects.
