Grading Policy:

	Lab work	:	30%
	Quizzes	:	15%
	Homework	:	5%
	Midterm Exam	:	25%
	Final Exam	:	25%

The Minimum Requirement to be able to take the Final Exam:

In order to be able to take the final exam, the value of the following expression has to be at least 30:

0.3 x L + 0.15 x Q + 0.05 x H + 0.25 x M

Here,

	L	∈ [0,100]: The average of lab grades
	Q	∈ [0,100]: The average quiz grades
	H	∈ [0,100]: The homework grade
	M	∈ [0,100]: The midterm grade

Important notes:

• Lab 0 (ungraded lab) will be held on the second week of the semester. Please attend this lab to meet your TA and learn about the basics of computer systems such as using Bilkent's web mail system, organizing the H: drive, using MS-Office, etc.
• You will have 10 graded lab assignments throughout the semester.
• Each lab assignment must be solved in an exam-like environment (no talking with your friends, no cheating).
• Do not forget to zip your solution of each lab with the correct name in the form SectionX_LabY_Surname_Name.zip before uploading it in Moodle!
• The quizzes will be pop-up quizzes. 50% of a quiz grade is reserved for attendance.
• You will receieve a 0 for any lab/quiz you don't attend without a legal report/permission from university.
• There will be only one make-up exam, which can be taken only by those who have missed the midterm exam due to officially reported health problems. No make up examinations will be given for labs and quizzes.
