| Quizzes: | Beginning on the second day of class, there will
be a quiz given each morning at the beginning of class. The quiz will end at 8:05 each morning so it is important that you get to class on time. There will be no make-up quizzes and no extension of time past 8:05. Attendance will be recorded through these quizzes. You must bring loose leaf paper each day for the quiz. Each day there will be homework assigned, but it will not be collected. However, the material for the quizzes and exams will be drawn partly from the homework. The website for the course will contain solutions to the homework assignments. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Programming Assignments |
An important component for this class is the associated laboratory. When you registered, you were required to sign up for the course CIS 122. This is the laboratory associated with this class. You will be given several programming assignments during this semester. The intention of these assignments will be to give you the experience of putting into the practice the concepts we discuss in class. You should not underestimate the importance of the laboratory. In order to receive the full benefit of this course, you must actively participate in these laboratory meetings. Laboratory assignments must be submitted at the beginning of class on the day they are due. Late assignments will only be accepted at the beginning of the following class. No assignments may be turned in after that. During the first laboratory meeting you will be given a syllabus that will discuss the laboratory component in more detail. | ||||||||||||||||||

| Academic Misconduct: |
Any student found guilty of academic misconduct (cheating) will receive an "F" for the course, and a record of the incident will be placed in his file. Further action may be taken at the university level. Unless otherwise stated by the instructor, ALL work submitted for GRADING must be designed and implemented by the student who submits it. Any detected deviation from this policy will result in a failing grade for the course. This policy applies to examinations and any assigned work. To put it simply, don't cheat! If you are caught you will fail the course. | ||||||||||||||||||
