The course structure is like this. During the first half of the semester students work on 3 programming assignments --not concurrently, but consecutively. Then there is a midterm program that must be done in a limited time period -- usually two hours. The midterm will be similar to the preceding 3 assigned programs. In the second half of the semester we repeat the process: there are 3 assigned programs to do and then there is a final exam program to do under limited time restraints.
During the semester you will create 8 programs for credit. Six programs are assignments and two programs are to be completed in a 2-hour time frame.
