QUIZZES

At every recitation, there will be an in-class quiz on the lecture notes, reading, submitted programs, and laboratory exercises.

• As the semester progresses, quizzes will include review questions as well as short programming exercises based on the homework.
• All quizzes must be taken during class time, and there are no make-up quizzes. Instead, your score on the final exam will replace missing quiz grades (the final exam will also replace a quiz grade when you take the quiz but do better on the final exam).
• All computer-based quizzes are open book, open notes, and you may use the Python shell and C++ programming environment.
• For the paper-based quizzes, you may not use any notes, books, or any computer device (laptop, phone, calculator, smart watch, etc.).
• If you miss your assigned recitation, you may take a quiz during another section before the deadline, subject to availability and instructor’s permission.

Using Blackboard

This course will use the on-line Blackboard system for in-class quizzes and posting grades. Blackboard should be accessible through your CUNY First account (see Hunter ICIT Blackboard page for directions on using the system and how to get help).
