This webpage is another additional resource for you where I will post my slides, lecture recordings, detailed tutorials and helpful tips/tricks to help aid in your learning and coding journey. Also below is some helpful information about the class.
Syllabus
This is the law of the land Official Syllabus. But because you may not read it (very likley), here is my breakdown of it. **Note** this should only be used as a reference. Be sure to also READ THE OFFICIAL SYLLABUS!!!Grade Breakdown
| Letter | = [Min - Max)========================
| A | = 90 - 100
| B+| = 87 - 90
| B | = 80 - 87
| C+| = 77 - 80
| C | = 70 - 77
| D+| = 67 - 70
| D | = 60 - 67
| F | = 0 - 60
========================
* This scale is subject to change based on class preformance
Late Policy
You get 5 late passes by default throughout the semeter on any assignment. Without a late pass or an excused absence the following applies...• 1 day late: -20% grade
• 2 days late: -40% grade
• 3 days late: -60% grade
• 4 or more days late: assignment is no longer accepted
My **Additional** Late Policy
I too was a Mines student who took this very class at one point and many of the classes you are in right now. I understand probably more than you know the rigor and pain that this school can bring at times. With that said I still expect you all to try your best to get things in within the due dates and use up your 5 late passes as needed. However, I will have the same policy as my favorite Mines Professor Keith Hellman which was this... If you do run out of late passes or are going through a rough patch, or have to study for a Calc 2 exam, etc. just send me an email: jamesshima@mines.edu. Explain your situation and I will most likley give you a personal extension within reason that I deem fit and fair for your situation.
