9. Handing In Projects, Assignments
9.1. To upload your project
9.1.1. Go to your project folder and zip everything up into a single Zip file. Make sure all sound files and images are included as well as a copy of EZ.java and all other java files you wrote.
9.1.2. Turn in this zip file in Laulima under the Assignments folder (the same place where you downloaded the assignment in the first place).
9.1.3. If your zip file is over 100M place it in your Google Drive using your UH account and share the link and copy that URL into your project hand in.
9.1.4. As for the video URL, go to the Resources Folder on Laulima. You will find a subfolder for this project in which you can add your URL.
9.2. Projects & assignments will be handed-in by uploading to Laulima under the ASSIGNMENT by the deadline indicated for the assignment.
9.3. No late work accepted.
9.4. Missed quizzes cannot be retaken.

10.5. Extra Credit
10.5.1. Extra credit is already built into your grade.
10.5.2. See "How to Compute Your Grade".
10.6. What if I Miss a Lab or Quiz?
10.6.1. See "How to Compute Your Grade"
10.7. How to Compute Your Grade
10.7.1. In the class you can earn 110 points.
10.7.2. So grades are assigned as follows:
10.7.3. A+ = 90%
10.7.4. A = 86%
10.7.5. A- = 81%
10.7.6. B+ = 77%
10.7.7. B = 73%
10.7.8. B- = 68%
10.7.9. C+ = 64%
10.7.10. C = 59%
10.7.11. C- = 55%
10.7.12. D+ = 50%
10.7.13. D = 46%
10.7.14. D- =40%
10.7.15. Note: You get a 10 point boost to your grade at the beginning of class to make up for missed quizzes or labs or any other random acts of life. If your final grade is on the edge of a letter grade do not ask for any extra credit work. None will be given as you were already given 10 free extra points.
10.7.16. Since you get 10 free extra credit points, that means if you get 100/110 points that computes to 90% which will get you an A+.
