  10. Assignments • There will be 5 assignments during the term. Each will be posted on the course web site at the appropriate time. • The posting and due dates for assignments are in the course syllabus • The solutions must run on the computers provided in the lab.

  11. Assignments • Assignment solutions are to be submitted for marking. Therefore, you must prepare your own solution set. • You must not work on an assignment with another individual or individuals. • However, if you have difficulty with part of an assignment, you may discuss potential solutions with your teaching assistant or another student.

  12. Assignments • Assignments must be submitted on time • Assignments will be submitted electronically to the URL posted on the Website http://courses.management.uottawa.ca/etphp/ Login name – First Letter First Name + Last Name Password – Student Number • Resubmissions allowed • UNTIL DUE DATE/TIME • Late submissions allowed • 25% deduction for any late assignment

  13. Homework • Homework will be posted on one of the course web sites prior to each tutorial • Homework consists of questions related to the lecture material from the previous week • Homework is not to be submitted for marking • You can review solutions to the homework questions with your teaching assistant during tutorials

  14. Textbook (recommended but not required) • Simple Program Design, A Step-by-Step Approach, third edition, Lesley Anne Robertson, Course Technology, Thomson Learning.

  15. Important Dates • Midterm examination • February 12, class time and place • (additional classrooms may be added) • Start of labs • Week of January 12 • Start of tutorials • Week of January 12

  16. Web Addresses • Course Web Sites • The primary course web site is at • www.site.uottawa.ca/~ivan • (could be moved later to, with link and info at above site: http://doc-depot.management.uottawa.ca/.) • The course syllabus and announcements will be posted at this site. • You will also be able to download files of the lecture slides, homework and assignments from

  17. Lab Computers • Your username and password to log on to one of the computers in the lab are derived as follows: • Username: first initial of your surname + 7 digit student number • Password: date of birth in the format YYMMDD • Remember to change your password after your initial log on • Technical Environment • Windows XP, Office XP

  18. Printing • 4 Relmon printers (VNR081): campus-wide • About 10 cents/page • Buy Copy-Card at the Library • Replenish Copy-Card in VNR081 • Same login name as for lab computers • Print (ie. print and delete) • Print and keep • Delete

  19. Antivirus Software • The University owns a campus-wide license for Norton Antivirus software • You can download it for use on your home computer at www.ccs.uottawa.ca/downloade.html

  20. Marking Algorithm A = mark on assignments (out of 100) M = mark on midterm exam (out of 100) F = mark on final exam (out of 100) •  EM = 0.75F +0.25M •  To pass the course, EM must be equal to, or greater than, 50

  21.  Marking Algorithm • To calculate the final letter grade (FLG) for the course: • LG(EM) = letter grade corresponding to the numeric mark EM • next_up_LG(EM) = letter grade immediately above LG(EM) • next_down_LG(EM) = letter grade immediately below LG(EM) • If EM >= 50, then • FLG = next_up_LG(EM) if A >= 75 • FLG = LG(EM) if (50 <= A <75) • FLG = next_down_LG(EM) if A < 50, unless causes a failure, in which case FLG =LG(EM)

  22. Calculation of Final Mark

  23. Additional Material
