LATE SUBMISSION OF LAB AND HOMEWORK PROGRAMMING ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Policies for Assignments, Exams, Lab and Homework:

There will be 4 lab and 4 homework assignments. The lab with the lowest score will be dropped and the homework with the lowest score will be dropped. All lab and homework will be posted 2 weeks before they are due. You will upload your lab and homework to Canvas. Instructions will be given on how to organize your lab and homework for submission. Instructions and requirements will be given for each specific lab and homework.

Make sure to follow all the instructions and to fulfill to all the specifications required for each program you code.

Each program you code in the homework will have its own rubric for scoring. All instructions and program  specifications will be given with each lab and homework assignment. It is the responsibility of the student to check that the correct lab and homework program files are submitted.

After each lab, homework and exam score is posted, you have 2 weeks from the day the scores are posted to review the graded lab, homework and exam with me. Once the 2 weeks period is past, the scores will be permanent. With the exception of the final exam, Lab4 and HW4, I will review your score with you on May 20 during the scheduled class time. Once class is over on May 20, all lab, HW and exam scores will be permanent.

NOTE: Computer and internet related problems are never a valid excuse for not completing or submitting an exam, lab, homework, or an assignment on time, therefore it is advisable to complete your work early enough to take into account any problems that may occur. Late submission of exam, lab, homework, or assignment will not be accepted.

6. ATTENDANCE and PARTICIPATION:

This is a hybrid course with online and classroom assignments, you are required to log into the course each week and maintain regular and effective contact with your Canvas course. You are also required to attend the class in-person in the classroom on the scheduled time as stated in the IVC Class schedule. You may be dropped from this class if you have not logged into canvas for the class and/or absent from in-person class for 3 days in the semester. A student will be dropped for missing two exams. However,   instructors sometimes do not automatically drop a student from a class so it is ultimately the student's responsibility to officially drop/withdraw from any class.

For drop, withdrawal, pass/no pass dates and other important dates for this class refer to the IVC website for details.

*Students who are still officially enrolled past the withdrawal deadline (65%/Drop with a “W” Grade) and who have been excessively absent per the attendance policy may be assigned a FW grade.     The FW counts the same as a F grade in the grade point average, but denotes you stopped attending class and did not fail due to lack of mastery of the course material. The FW grade may impact eligibility for some types of financial aid. See the Financial Aid Office for more information.

It is the responsibility of the student to officially drop/withdraw from the class in a timely manner if they so choose.
