-----------------------------------------
Total                                       : 100 %

Letter grades will be determined according to the following table.

90 - 100 %: A
80 - 89 %: B
70 - 79 %: C
60 - 69 %: D
0 - 59 %: F
We keep the right of giving + / – grades.
If needed grades will be curved.
Students with low grades at the final and midterm may receive an F even if their other course works are fine.

GENERAL POLICIES

Your homeworks must be turned in on the due dates. No late homework will be accepted.

If individual review is needed due to a question on the grade (including exams) this must be no later than one week after receiving your graded work. This time limit is for consistency in grading.

You are expected to do your work alone. Group working will be considered as cheating. You may discuss your ideas and approaches, but do not walk the line. Exceptions and group projects (if any) will be specified explicitly.

Your programs will be graded according to their correctness, algorithm design, readability, and neatness of presentation.

If you need to supply written documentation with your assignments provide a neat presentation using a word-processor. This is a rule and exceptions will be specified explicitly.

To the exams you can bring a "handwritten" cheat sheet (dosya kagidi).

OFFICE HOUR POLICIES
In case I am not able to be in my office during any office hour period, I will announce alternate hours to make up for them. Please do not assume that I am available to answer your questions any time you may barge into my office. During office hours, you are welcome to stop by and discuss your questions with me. If you cannot make it during my hours, you are further welcome to contact me and make an appointment for a more suitable time.
