In order to encourage participation in the annual programming contest (this saturday), the faculty often awards modest extra credit to student participants. I will therefore award a 1 percent increase in the final semster scores of such students. This amount is consistent with the level of extra credit awarded in other similar courses.
Current grades for program 1 have been posted. 250 is full credit with 50 points extra credit possible.
