Course Expectations and Policies:

· Course Expectations: Each student is expected to read the assigned materials and prepare the programming assignments prior to class. The university standard for course workload is two hours of outside work for every hour in class, i.e., a 3-unit course requires 9 hours of work/week.

· Electronic devices: Personal electronic devices must be turned off in the lab.

· Lab session attendance: Attendance of lab sessions is optional. However, the nature of the course requires a firm foundation in the basics before proceeding to more advanced materials. It is extremely difficult to catch up, once behind. For that reason, it is highly recommended that you come to the lab sessions to work on the weekly assignments. If you miss a lab session, it is your responsibility to obtain what you have missed from a fellow student.

· Academic Integrity: Cheating or plagiarism in connection with an academic program or class at a campus is subject to discipline as provided in Sections 41301 through 41304 of Title 5, California Code of Regulations. Please see the University Catalog for further information. This code applies both exams and assignments. Should two or more students turn in an identical assignment, I will consider this to be cheating and will grade the assignment accordingly, that is both (all involved) students will receive a zero grade for that assignment.

· Code Documentation: ALL code that is submitted for grading (projects & in-class exercises) be

PROPERLY DOCUMENTED. See assignments posted on website.

· Due Dates/Make-Up Work: Examinations must be taken as scheduled. You MUST use the Blackboard Learning System to submit your homework assignments. NO EMAIL ATTACHMENTS will be accepted. Weekly assignments are due on the following Monday. There will be a 20% deduction each day for Tuesday and Wednesday submission. The submission link will no long available after Wednesday (NO EXCEPTION). The instructor reserves the right to change a due date.
