Projects

Programming projects are due by midnight on the date given; there are no individual extensions. All programs are to be fully commented---I suggest you learn how to use javadoc. Programs are to be e-mailed to me at melvin.fitting@lehman.cuny.edu. Send programs as attachments---do not paste them into the e-mail body. Make sure you do not send the .class (compiled) files, send the .java files.

• Midterm: March 17, 2008
• Final Exam: May 21, 2008

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.
