View the calendar on the course website to see the order in which these
topics will be presented.

Attendance:
Students are responsible for their own attendance. The topics covered
in lecture will be listed on the course website. Lab attendance is not
required but is strongly encouraged.

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.

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. 

Grading:  Labs/Homework  30%
          Midterms (2)   40% (20% for each Midterm)
          Final          30%

Labs:
Lab assignments will be posted on the course website. Labs are worth 10
points and usually involving writing a short programs. The labs are due at 
10:00am on the day after the lab. Partial credit will be given for incomplete
labs. Late labs will not be accepted. The lowest lab grade will not be
counted towards the overall lab grade.

Homework:
Homework assignments and due dates will be posted on the course website.
Homeworks are worth 20 points and consist of multiple small programs.
Programs which do not compile may be given partial credit depending on
the severity of the error. 

Late Policy for Homework:
If there is no late policy posted on the homework assignment, then the
homework may be turned in up to three days late. Saturday and Sunday 
combined count as only one day late (e.g. if the assignment is due Friday
and you turn it in Sunday, it will be marked as one day late). If there 
is a late policy posted on the assignment, then that policy will apply 
for that particular assignment. Late homework will be marked down 10% 
for each day it is late.

Labs/Homework Submission:
Assignments are submitted by emailing the instructor all assignment code
files from the Computer Science department server. Do not use RunnerMail
or any other email method. If you believe you submitted the assignment on
time but the instructor has not received the email, contact the instructor.

Midterms:
Midterm 1 will be given on Monday February 1, 2010
Midterm 2 will be given on Monday February 22, 2010
Makeup midterms will not be given, but the other midterm will be counted
proportionally higher if you have a valid reason for missing a midterm.

Final: 
TBA pending new final schedule from campus.
Check the Calendar page on the course website for the final date and time.
