Format:
1. PC Floppy or CD

Put the files directly on the root of the floppy or CD ? not in a folder.? Do not include old homework or miscellaneous data.? Keep a copy of your code.
2. Source Listings
Put your name in a comment on the first line of all your .java files.? Print out a listing of the source code of all .java files.
3. Screen Shot
Make a print-out of execution of your program ? a screen shot.
4. 9 X 12 Envelope
Put floppy, listings, and screen shot in a 9 X 12 envelope.?
Collaboration:
Working together is allowed and encouraged.? However, homework assignments must be completed individually.? You may ask others for assistance, but the solution must have your own ?thumbprint? on it and not be the same as other students?.
Late Policy:
For? homework that is turned in late, 10% will be deducted from its grade for each class period it is late.? All homework must be turned in before the last class meeting on August 9, without exceptions
Grading
?Though you may choose any Java IDE, homework assignments will be graded using the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, Version 1.3.? Therefore, it is a good idea to test with the JDK when the assignment is completed.
The final grade will be based on homework assignments, the midterm exam, and the final exam.? The homework assignments will be weighted as 50% of the total grade; the midterm exam as 20% of the final grade, and the final exam as 30% of the final grade.? The final exam must be passed in order to pass the class.
The final grade based on the above weighting will earn the following letter grades:
90 ? 100% earns an ?A?; 80 ? 89% earns a ?B?, 70 ? 79% earns a ?C?, 60 ? 69% earns a ?D?, and below 60% earns an ?F.?
