Homework problems, which are critically important for understanding and reinforcing the course material, will be assigned weekly and posted on the class web site along with the due dates.

You need to submit both a hard copy and a soft copy for your assignment.

Write your information especially your name and section on your floppy/CD. The CD will contain your whole project.

You are responsible for turning in your own work on all assignments. Unauthorized collusion is not allowed and constitutes a violation of the university's policies on academic integrity.

You are responsible for protecting your work from being copied by others.

Late assignments will not be accepted for any reason.

Course Requirements and Policies

Examinations

There will be three quizzes, two midterm exams and one

final exam (dates to be determined on the site).

No make-up quizzes.

Make-up exams will be given ONLY for an official PSUW

conflict or an emergency. You must submit a written

make-up request with proof to the instructor.

15

Academic Misconduct Policy While you are free to discuss the course material with your classmates,

collaboration on homework or programming assignments is not permitted.

Helping a friend understand the intent of a homework or programming assignment specification is permitted. Students who work together too closely (e.g. design their solution together) should be aware that this is a form of cheating called COLLUSION and is subject to academic penalties. Penalties for academic misconduct include a failing grade in this course.

Acts that exceed the bounds defined by the approved collaboration practices will be considered cheating. Such acts include:

• Copying solutions from someone else or giving someone else your solutions.

• Participation in a discussion group that develops a solution that everyone copies.

We urge everyone in the class to take appropriate measures for protecting one's work. You should protect your files, homework solution sheets, etc. as deemed reasonable.
