Magical Final grade formula

  • L1, W1, W2, W3 (0 | 1) must be completed for final grade.
  • L2 and L3 is weighted 50% each (0-9) and counts for 60% of the final grade.
  • E1 is graded (0-9) and counts for 40% of the final grade.

Final Grade = FLOOR(L1 x W1 x W2 x W3 ((L2 x 0.5 + L3 x 0.5) x 0.6 + E1 x 0.4) )

Plagiarism

  • Do not copy code, we use tools to detect plagiarism
    • We use tools to detect it.
    • A student copied another student's solution, renamed identifiers, methods and reordered methods and still got suspended.
  • Don't generate Code (Except in W3)
  • Make regular commits in labs!
    • Recommend at least every day, preferably more often…
  • Instead, if you are in trouble…Contact Me on Slack in DM and make a plan
    • Reduce complexity (focus on quality)
    • Plan to not get into trouble (again…)
