Policies
Prerequisites
A grade of C- or better in CIS 2168 and either CIS 2107 or CIS 2229. These may not be taken concurrently.
Quizzes
Quizzes will be in class. No makeup quizzes will be given.
Exams
Exams are closed book. The exams are mandatory. No makeup exams will be given. Students with an unexcused absence for an exam will be given an F.
Attendance
Attendance is required.
Assignments
You will be given several short assignments. These should be submitted in class in a timely fashion. Unless otherwise specified, homeworks may not be done in groups.
Homeworks submitted on or before midnight on the due date may be considered for full credit. Late homeworks will be penalized 20% each day. Beyond three days, late homeworks will be recorded as zeros.
Blanket extensions to the above policy may be granted at the instructor's discretion in unusual circumstances such as unclear directions, equipment problems with the computer lab as a whole, inclement weather, or cancellation of TA or instructor office hours. However, individual exceptions will only be granted in the rarest of circumstances. Appeals to accept late homework should be directed by email to the instructor, and should typically be accompanied by appropriate documentation (e.g., doctor's note). There are enough homeworks throughout the semester that disastrous performance on one or two will not prevent you from achieving a good grade in the course. However, habitually missing the assignments will guarantee a poor grade or failure.
Enrollment
All decisions on appeals for enrolling in the course are made by CIS Department advising staff. The course staff have no say in the matter. If you have any questions on such matters, please see your adviser.
Academic freedom
Freedom to teach and freedom to learn are inseparable facets of academic freedom. The university has adopted a
Policy on Student and Faculty Academic Rights and Responsibilities (Policy 03.70.02).
