Computer Science I Grading

Computer Science I grades are determined by labs, projects, tests, and a final project on a Huntington North grading scale and, for dual credit students, on a Purdue Fort Wayne grading scale.

Labs (20% of overall grade)

Lab programs cover a couple specific topics and are shorter programs (requiring less time to complete) than projects.

e-Learning assignments are counted in this category

Projects (30% of overall grade)

Project programs cover many topics and are longer programs (requiring more time to complete) than labs.

Tests (30% of overall grade)

There are two tests each semester (each test is 15% of the overall grade)

Each test consists of two parts:

• Part 1- Students can use programs they've written, the book, etc., to answer the questions. Part 1 is worth 2/3 of the total value of the test.
• Part 2 - Students can only use your brains and a writing utensil (no book, computer, etc.). Part 2 is worth 1/3 of the total value of the test.

Final Project (20% of overall grade)

Students create their own projects utilizing all the topics covered in the semester.
