Barnes & Nobles and others.
Goals
My goal is to make sure you learn, working together on programs is NOT PERMITTED,
if I notice that programs are similar I will start giving a quiz on the program the day it is due,
if your grades (program, quiz) are very different the final grade will the one of the quiz.
Attendance
If you attend every class, you will have a better chance of learning the material of this
course. Not everything I teach in this class is in the book.
Recommendations
DO NOT use any wordprocessor to write your programs.
The computers in the ECS lab contain all the necessary programs for his course, you can also
use your own computers, installing one of the following FREE softwares:
JDK Java Compiler
Eclipse IDE or
Netbeans IDE
Eclipse for Java is an IDE system dedicated for Java programming.
Netbeans IDE is very powerful, and has over 100 plugins to allow you to write programs
for multiple languages.
Windows and Linux users
To write your programs you can also use editors such as notepad, EditPad Pro, or gedit,
however I recommend Eclipse or Netbeans.
Class Policies
FIU Academic Affairs policy on academic dishonesty
Grading
3 Exams 20 points each = 60 points
5 Programs 8 points each = 40 points
Total = 100 points
Your grade, will be calculated as follows
A 100-95
A- 94-90
B+ 89-87
B 86-83
B- 82-80
C+ 79-76
C 75-70 PASS
C- 69-66 FAIL
D+ 65-60
D 59-56
D- 55-51
F 50-0
