The grade for the course is based on both program assignments and tests. There will be a large number of programming projects, and the average on them counts as half the final grade. There will be a midterm and a final exam. The (weighted) average on them counts as the other half of the final grade. To compute the average of the exams, the midterm counts 1/3 and the final exam counts 2/3.
