Grading Policy |
Weekly Homework Assignments (40%): Ten weekly homework assignments worth 4% each. Programming Projects (48%): Four programming projects worth 12% each. Code is to be written
in C/C++ and Java. Late submissions are allowed for up to two days with a 10%
reduction for each late day. These must be your own individual work. Do not
look at the solution of anyone (or even part of it), and do not let anyone
else look at yours (or even part of it). You should figure out the
solutions by yourself --- do not ask anyone how to solve the problem, and do
not seek the answer from some other source. Anyone caught cheating will be given
a zero for the graded work or for the course and reported to the school
following University
procedures. Lecture Quizzes (12%): In-class questions using Tophat. The join code is 311687. |

Academic
Integrity |
All assignment submissions must be the sole
work of each individual student. Students may not read or copy another
student's solutions or share their own solutions with other students.
Students may not review solutions from students who have taken the course in
previous years. Submissions that are substantively similar will be considered
cheating by all students involved, and as such, students must be mindful not
to post their code publicly. The use of books and online resources is
allowed, but must be credited in submissions, and material may not be copied
verbatim. Any use of electronics or other resources during an examination
will be considered cheating. If you have any doubts about whether a
particular action may be construed as cheating, ask the instructor for
clarification before you do it. The instructor will make the final
determination of what is considered cheating. Cheating in this course will
result in a grade of F for the course and may be subject to further
disciplinary action. Should a student be accused of a
breach of academic integrity or have questions regarding faculty
responsibilities, procedural safeguards including provisions of due process
have been designed to protect student rights. These may be found in
Guidelines on Academic Integrity: Academic
Integrity Policy of the School of Computing and Information. For a first offense, a student
caught collaborating or cheating in any way will receive a zero for the exam,
homework, lab, or project in question. In the event of a second offense, the
student will receive an F for the course and may be subject to stronger
action. They will be reported to the school following University
procedures. Submissions that are
alike in a substantive way (not due to coincidence) will be considered to be
cheating by ALL involved parties. Please protect yourselves by only storing
your files in private directories, and by retrieving all printouts promptly. |
