Texts: Frank Carrano: Data Abstraction & Problem Solving with C++, Fifth Edition. Boston: Addison Wesley Longman, 2006.
Watts Humphrey: Introduction to the Personal Software Process. Boston: Addison Wesley Longman, 1997.
Exams: There will be two in-class exams during the course and a comprehensive final exam. The exam dates are:
- First exam - Tuesday, September 29
- Second exam - Tuesday, November 3
- Final exam - Monday, December 14, 10:15am.
Exams will be based on the notes; that is, on the presentations in class. Calculators will be neither necessary nor allowed. Make-up exams will be given only for documented emergencies and with prior notice. Rides home, airplane flights, hunting season, and wedding rehearsals do not constitute emergencies. Plan ahead.
Grading: Grades will be based on your projects and exams in these proportions:

Projects and PSP 30%
First exam 10%
Second exam 20%
Final exam 40%

It will not be possible to do "extra credit" either during or after the course.
Attendance: You are responsible for knowing what happens at each class meeting, and that is most easily and efficiently accomplished by being there. Neither the instructor nor the assistant will repeat a presentation just for you.
Decorum: Conduct yourself so as not to distract others. In particular:
- Arrive for class on time, and be ready to begin. If you must be late, be quiet.
- If you are early, sit toward the middle of a row.
- Do not engage in distracting activities like reading a newspaper, sleeping, and using a computer for non-class activities.
- Turn off all cell phones, iPods, and similar devices.
- Do not pack up until the instructor ends class.
Academic honesty: Using other people's words or ideas as if they were your own in written work, including programs and their documentation, is theft, known in this case as plagiarism. Do not do it. Getting other people's answers for exams is cheating. Do not do it. Both are very serious, and will result in a grade of zero on the work in question, possibly an F in the course, and possibly other disciplinary actions.
If anyone has a disability that may require modification of seating, testing, or some other feature of the course, please see Dr. Julstrom after class or during his office hours.
Please bring any complaints to Dr. Julstrom.
