Scholarly conduct

Regular and punctual attendance is expected. If you miss a class, you are responsible for all announcements given in class. In addition to the lecture and lab, this course has required reading from the textbook. It is expected that you read the assigned textbook chapter every week. Participation with timely completion of assignments is essential as learning in class is built on top of the previous chapters.

Once enrolled, if you wish to drop the class, it is your responsibility to drop the class before the last day to drop. Otherwise, an appropriate grade will be given at the end of the quarter.

Programming Lab Assignments

Programming Lab assignments will be graded on correctness, clarity, informative documentation, and structure & style that makes it easy to read. Late submissions will incur a penalty of 2 points per day.

Grading

Final exam is comprehensive including all chapters from the beginning. 1 point is equal to 1% of the grade. Grading distribution is as follows:

Academic Honesty

If a student is found to have cheated or plagiarized on any assignment or examination, the student will receive a failing grade for that assignment or examination. Academic integrity forbids distributing or publishing or copy-pasting any exam or lab questions or course contents to external sites. All programming assignments are expected to be your own original work. Never give a soft copy or a hard copy of any lab assignment to another classmate. Any duplicate assignments submitted will receive zero points without regard to who originated and who copied.
