Attendance:
Students are responsible for their own attendance. The topics covered in lecture will be listed on the course website.

Academic Integrity Policy:
Homeworks and labs may be worked on and discussed in groups. If the assignment is a group assignment, the group can turn in one assignment for the entire group. If the assignment is an individual assignment, each student must turn in their own code; no direct copying is allowed. Refer to the Academic Integrity policy printed in the campus catalog and class schedule.

Services for Students with Disabilities:
To request academic accommodations due to a disability, please contact the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) as soon as possible. They may be reached at 661-654-3360 (voice), or 661-654-6288 (TDD). If you have an accommodations letter from the SSD Office, please present it to me during my office hours as soon as possible so we can discuss the specific accommodations that you might need in this class.

Tutoring Center and Open Use 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 and Computer Engineering courses.
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.

Assignments

Labs:
Lab assignments will be posted on the course website. Labs are worth 4 points. There will be one lab assignment each week that will be due on the posted date before midnight. Partial credit will be given for incomplete labs.

Late Policy:
Late labs/projects will not be accepted. If there is a late policy that is posted for an assignment, then that policy will apply for that particular assignment. Otherwise, an assignment that is not submitted on the posted due date will not be accepted.

Labs Submission:
Assignments are submitted by uploading the assignment to your public_html directory on odin. Do not use an email method as your email might be discarded by the Computer Science department spam filter. To check to see if your upload was successful, you can use a browser to access your public_html. If you can see the uploaded file, then I can see the uploaded file.

Allow at least one week after the assignment due date for the grade to be posted. It is your responsibility to check to see if your assignment has been received/graded and to contact the instructor if it has not been received. If your assignment received an asterisk on the grades report, you have until the end of the week to contact me or the assignment will not be counted.

Out-of-class Time:
It is expected that students in a 3 unit course such as this will spend 4 to 10 hours each week outside of class working on assignments, so be sure to budget enough time to complete the assignment before the due date.

Projects:
There will be 2 midterm projects and 1 final project. Project descriptions and due dates will be announced promptly ahead of time. Projects will consist of fully developed webpages based off lecture material and lab assignments. For each project, you will have 2 weeks to complete the requirements. Each project will have a rubric for criteria and descriptions matching the achievement level. Late projects will not be accepted. Partial credit will be given to incomplete projects.

Final Project:
Your final project will consist of a project proposal, fully developed webpages, and a short 5 minute presentation of your completed project. Unlike the midterm projects, the final project will be entirely up to you. I will announce the writing requirements for the final project proposal and the criteria for the project. Presentations will be held during the last week of lecture. If you cannot make this time for a serious or compelling reason, contact the instructor ONE WEEK in advance to schedule an alternate time. Late final projects will not be accepted. If a final project is not submitted, then the student will receive an incomplete for the course. Details on submitting the final project will be posted.
