No late assignments will be accepted and there are no make-up exams or quizzes.
Discuss unusual circumstances in advance with the instructor.

Computer use and accounts:

You will need to be familiar with and have access to a web browser since many handouts for the course will be made available only on the web. In addition, email will be widely used for announcements regarding the course -- you must read your email regularly.

Collaboration:

Discussion of concepts is encouraged, but, unless otherwise specified, all assignments must be done on your own. If you use a source other than the text (e.g., another book or a person), reference it.

Recall that the definition of scholastic dishonesty includes acquiring answers from any unauthorized source, working with another person when not specifically permitted, observing the work of other students during any exam, providing answers when not specifically authorized to do so, informing any person of the contents of an exam prior to the exam, and failing to credit sources used. Disciplinary actions range from grade penalty to expulsion.

The Honor Code applies to all examinations and programs. Plagiarism is copying or imitating the language and thoughts of others, whatever the medium (computer program or written paper). All work on the exams and the pledged programs must be done individually.

Attendance is required and an important factor in doing well in the class. After 3 absences a cut warning will be issued and your course grade lowered automatically.
