Re-grading
o You have one week to ask for a re-grade after the assignment or exam has been handed back to you
o You may request a regrade by seeing the TA that graded the assignment if you believe that your program or homework was graded incorrectly. You must submit in writing what you believe is incorrectly graded. We will then regrade the entire homework/project. There will be no regrades for code changes with the exception (and with an appropriate penalty) of changes to the program that do not affect the LOGIC of the program. So an acceptable code regrade would be to add a missing "#include". An unacceptable code regrade would be to add in "if(ptr!=NULL)"
-
Cheating
o Do not cheat!
o Frequent and thorough scans for cheating
o If caught automatic failing grade for the class and reported to the Dean of Students' Office
o Examples of cheating (courtesy of Gene Spafford)
§ Using part or all of someone else's work, from this or any prior semester, in projects or homework without the instructor's prior approval;
§ Misrepresenting the functionality of code. That is, if a student submits a project with falsified output or test data to make it look as if a program works better than it does;
§ Using hidden notes or hints to answer questions during a test that does not allow open notes or crib sheets;
§ Submitting answers on homework or projects that were developed or researched by any other individual and presented as the student's own work;
§ Copying text from a book or paper to include in the student's own writing without clearly marking it as a quote and citing the source (This is plagiarism and may be a violation of copyright law as well as cheating.);
§ Setting permissions on files and directories in a student's account so that someone can easily copy programs and documents, or allowing any other person, in the class or otherwise, to use your computer account (note that this is also a violation of department policy or PUCC policy;
§ Providing program code or problem solutions to another student in the class without the instructor's explicit, prior approval;
§ Encouraging anyone to do any of the above, or failing to report anyone involved in any of these activities.
