Required (but Fun)
Work
- Assignments
- Four, due
approximately every 1.5 weeks during the first half of the semester
- Credit 10% per
assignment, total 40%
- Numerous extra-credit
opportunities
- Late policy
- once late (up to one
week): no penalty
- late second and
subsequent times: 0 points for assignment
- all assignments are required
by the last day of classes for completion of course
- After you receive the
grade for an assignment you have 1 week for asking for a regrade
- Project
- Second half of
semester
- Paper style project
report and public project presentation
- Credit 40%
- Exams
- Midterm, credit 20%
- No final exam
Cheating policy
- Do not cheat!
- Frequent and thorough scans
for cheating
- If caught automatic failing
grade for the class and reported to the Dean of Students' Office
- 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.
