Extra Instruction (EI) is available and encouraged when your own attempts
to understand the subject matter are unsuccessful. Unless otherwise announced,
EI will be by appointment. Come prepared with specific questions or areas
to be discussed.
Quizzes & Homework:
There are no scheduled quizzes, but I reserve the right to give a quiz
at any time. There will be weekly homework assignments, which
will be graded from 0-5. Failure
to turn in a homework will result in a zero.
Labs:
The class is held in the Lab. During class, there will be a particular
assignment to complete. Completing the labs will then become your
homework.
Practicum Exams
The midterm and final will include a programming portion, where you will be
given a task and you must write a program to complete it.
Programming Project:
There will be a final programming project, where you will work on your own to
solve a problem.
Along with the project hard copy, you must turn in a cover
page which bears your signature asserting that you have abided by all
honor policies with regard to this project. Projects without this
cover page will not be accepted.
Students are responsible for obtaining any material missed due to an absence.
Additionally, students must ensure that their work is submitted by the
deadline regardless of other commitments, i.e. duty, sick call, movement
orders. Should bona fide emergencies arise, it is the responsibility of
the student to coordinate with the instructor (emergency leave,
hospitalization, SIR, etc.).
If a student is to miss an exam due to a movement order, etc,
Class Conduct:
Students are expected to uphold all professional standards while in class.
Food/Beverages:
The Computer Science department rules state that there will be no consumption
of food in any Computer Science class- lab or classroom. Beverages
are permitted in classrooms and labs if in closed containers. System
Engineering classroom policies may trump this policy in this matter.
Exams:
3 exams will be administered. There will be an early exam (4th week) to make
sure you've been paying attention. A proper midterm will be given in October.
The final exam will be comprehensive. If for some reason a make-up exam will be
required, inform the instructor at least 1 week in advance.
