Textbooks

C:How to Program, H. M. Deitel, P. J. Deitel, Prentice-Hall, Third Edition, 2000.

The C Programming Language, Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie, Prentice Hall PTR, 1998.
This is a very good, concise book that is written by the designers of the C programming language. Must have book for people who are interested in serious C programming.

Grading

One midterm, assignments, one final exam. Dates and times will be announced on the web and in class. All exams will be open textbook only (no other books or notes.) There will be a single makeup exam that may be taken only by those who missed an exam due to documented medical reasons.

The grade for CENG 101 is calculated as  
30 % : Lab Assignments  
20 % : Quizes  
20 % : Midterm (near the middle of the course)
30 % : Final Exam (a comprehensive exam at the end of the course)
