Policies for this Course
- Students must complete all assignments individually.
- If a student obtains code or help from a source outside of the
class (i.e., outside of the text book(s), the lecture notes, the instructor,
or the class's teaching assistants), then the student must acknowledge
this assistance by properly citing the source in comments above the
function or code segment.
- All assignments should be turned in on time. For late projects,
there will be a 15% deduction for each 15 minute period after the deadline.
- Students are responsible for keeping a backup of their projects on a
university machine (i.e., gusun or cssun).
- Students bringing cell phones to class must either set the phone to
vibrate, turn the ringer volume off, or turn the phone off completely.
When I was a kid, my school teachers used to always announce
quizzes by ringing a bell. As a result, ringing sounds evoke
a Pavlovian response, and I think it's time to have a quiz.
