Ø Homework will include both written assignments as well as computer lab projects and assignments. Before turning-in the assignments outlined in the schedule, you must complete the computer steps contained in the project. (Don’t just read the project and then go to the exercises.) All homework is due at the beginning of the class meeting on the due date shown in the schedule.
Ø All extra credit must be typed. Homework should be typed, but neatly hand-written homework will be accepted if noted in class [use of the worksheet grids and flow charts is recommended - but not required]. Both extra credit and homework must have a typed cover page showing: CSIS-111A; Class Code 0635; your name; the chapter number; the assignment title and number; the assignment page; and the assignment due date (see sample homework cover page and sample extra credit cover page).
Ø Participation is based on your preparation and participation for the class. Preparation means reading the material and keeping-up with the homework assignments. If you participate in every class meeting for the semester, you will receive a 3% bonus at the end of the semester. If you miss participating in only one class meeting, you will receive a 2% bonus. It is in your best interest to earn this bonus to help your grade.
Ø There are five ‘hands-on’ projects in this class. They are designed to test how well you can perform various concepts and programming features in QBasic. They will "Take-Home" and hence, open book and open notes.
Ø The Final Exam will cover all material reviewed in the class. It will consist of 100 multiple choice questions.
Ø On tests and homework, maximum credit is earned by: following all directions and instructions; by producing a document which is professional in appearance; and by correcting grammatical errors, misspellings, or incorrectly used words.
Ø Graded homework that contains a program mathematical error which is carried forward to other parts of the program will not have points taken off for each occurrence - only for the original error [if the subsequent occurrences are consistent with the original error].
Ø All attempts will be made to follow the course schedule as outlined. However, circumstances may require changes in the schedule for any given class meeting.

The
symbol # is used for both a numeric placeholder in the PRINT USING statement and
as a "Double Precision indicator".
The number 123456.78 has too many digits to be displayed in single
precision (up to 7 digits) so it's converted to double precision (up to 18
digits) for display in the program listing. Other indicators you might see are %
