Academic Integrity Policy:
Each student must turn in their own code. The only code that should ever be turned in that the student did not create is the portions provided for you for that particular assignment by the instructor.

There is no such thing as "working together on something" or "lab or homework partners", EVERY lab and every homework should be 100% your own original code. Submission of a solution taken as a whole or any part from ANY source is unacceptable and will be considered plagiarism.Do not share your solutions or ask for solutions from other students or tutors. Turning in any plagarized work will result in the full value of that assigmnent being subtracted from your assignments score thus far and may also be reported the Student Affairs Department.
 


Computer Lab:
The walk-in computer lab in Sci III 324 is available for use by students 
in this course outside of class time on a first come, first serve basis. 
Priority in the lab is given to students who are completing assignments
for Computer Science courses. The lab typically closes around 5:00pm on
weekdays and is closed on weekends.

Tutoring is also provided on a limited basis in the walk-in lab. A tutoring 
schedule will be posted on the department website by the end of the first 
week of classes. Students in this course may ask the tutors for assistance 
on assignments. The tutors are not allowed to solve the assignment for you, 
but they can assist with problems like cryptic compiler errors.

Grading:  
Exams (3)   40%
Final       40%
Assignments 20%

Grades will be posted on the course website, is is only an approximation of your grade for the class based on the assignmetns due to that date.
Check your email on sleipnir when you log in as I may occasional email individual students or the class as a whole. 
I will email you to your sleipnir account only.

Labs:
Lab assignments will be posted on the course website. Labs will usually involve writing a short program(s). The labs are due at the end of lab period (8:15), do not leave without having your lab graded or you will not receive credit. Labs will only be graded in class on the day they are due. 


Homework:
Homework assignments are designed to prepare you for the exams. Assignments are due before class starts on the day the next homework is assigned. Generally you will have a week to complete a homework.
If you stay current and do you homework on time I will help you when you are having issues, just email me and ask me to look at your current homework. Your grade on a homework may come from the actual assignment as well as a quiz on the subject matter of that specific homework. 
Late homework will NOT be accepted, I MAY allow you extra time to complete a homework if ..1 you have worked on it prior to two days before it is due ,2 you contact me for help with any issues 2 days before the day it is due.

Extra Credit:
If you complete all the homework assignments you will recieve exta credit points for the last one.

								

Assignment Submission:
On the course website there are directions to create an ~/assignments directory. Sub directories for each lab and homework will be created. 
All you have to do is complete your assignments in the correct directory by the time it is due. I will expect to go to your assignment directory and find all the files necessary to build and run your programs.


Exams:
There will be 3 exams and a final.
Please check the course web page for the dates.
Please check the course web page each week for any updates ,assignment changes or schedule changes 
If you cannot make it to any exam or the final let me know a week ahead of time so an alternate time can be arranged.
Missing an exam will result in a zero score.


Final:
Friday December 15th 5:00-7:30pm

If you cannot make this time because it conflicts with another final or you
have more than two finals scheduled that day, contact the instructor AT LEAST ONE WEEK 
in advance of the final to schedule an alternate time.
