Methods by which student learning will be assessed and evaluated; describe the types of methods to be employed; note whether certain methods are required for all sections:

Students will be quizzed on the chapters covered. They will design and program parts on topics covered. At the end of the semester they will submit a projects report. The report will be graded. A final test will be given at the end of the semester.

Academic Integrity policy (department or College):
Academic honesty is expected of all students. Any violation of academic integrity is taken extremely seriously. All assignments and projects must be the original work of the student or teammates.
