| Description: |
This course is an introduction to programming using
Java. In this class, you will learn programming constructs
that can apply to many programming languages used
today. Although it will be necessary to learn the syntax and
semantics of Java, the essence of this course will not be
learning Java. Instead, the goal of this course is concerned
with programming as problem solving. Programming, at its
essence, is the ability to solve complicated problems using
computers.

| Letter Grades: |
The following scale will be used to assign final letter
grades based on the weighted numerical grade defined above:
| Percentage |
Letter Grade |
| 93 ≤ grade ≤ 100 |
A |
| 90 ≤ grade < 93 |
A- |
| 87 ≤ grade < 90 |
B+ |
| 83 ≤ grade < 87 |
B |
| 80 ≤ grade < 83 |
B- |
| 77 ≤ grade < 80 |
C+ |
| 73 ≤ grade < 77 |
C |
| 70 ≤ grade < 73 |
C- |
| 67 ≤ grade < 70 |
D+ |
| 60 ≤ grade < 67 |
D |
| grade < 60 |

| Late Policy: |
The policy on late homework or claswork is as follows:
- Up to 3 days past due date: 15% penalty for each day late
- More than 3 days past due date: NO CREDIT
As per the catalog, students will be excused if they have
documented emergencies or are representing UNCA on
university-sanctioned travel. An equipment failure
is not an excuse for turning in an assignment late.
|
| Attendance Policy: |
Lectures: Students are expected to
attend all class lectures. Failure to do so will impact
your homework grade and will be considered a lack of interest in
success on the part of the student.
Exams: If you must miss an exam due to
illness you must email or telephone the instructor
before the scheduled time and perhaps something can be
arranged to avoid a zero for the exam.
