& World Wide Web: How to Program, Fourth Edition, P. J. Deitel and H. M. Deitel; Prentice
Hall, 2008.
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 IN ADVANCE (emergency
leave, hospitalization, SIR, etc.).
You may collaborate on laboratory assignments
to the following extent: collaborative
conversations with regard to syntax, strategies and methods for accomplishing
the goal of the labs are encouraged, however design and implementation must be
the work of the individual student handing in the final product. Sharing or
copying of code is never permitted. In
addition, you must identify all those that you collaborate with on your
assignment cover sheet. Consult your
instructor if you need further clarification.
Exams will be open notes / closed book.
Expect frequent quizzes on assigned reading. Quizzes may be open or closed book/notes, as announced. No makeup
quizzes will be given. All work on exams/quizzes must be your own in accordance
with USNAINST 1610.3F, USNAINST 1531.53, and COMPSCIDEPTINST1531C. These references can be found at http://www.usna.edu/CS/academics/honor.htm.
Students shall uphold all professional standards while in class. Proper
uniforms shall be worn, and proper language shall be used. Sleeping in class is
prohibited. If you are experiencing difficulty staying awake at your desk,
stand in the back of the room. No food
in the classroom/labs. Beverages in closed containers only.
Extra Instruction (EI) is available and
encouraged when your own attempts to understand the subject matter are
unsuccessful. However, you must come prepared with specific questions or areas
to be discussed (i.e. have read the assigned readings). If you have missed
class, get the notes from a classmate. Do not ask or expect to receive EI on material
that you have slept through.
EI is normally available during weekdays by
appointment; see the course web page (URL above) for hours of
non-availability. Students may also show
up at the instructor’s office without appointment, however no expectation of
instructor availability should be assumed.
Email questions are also encouraged, though in some cases the reply will
request in-person EI as the most effective solution.

For the course project, teams of students will
create a web site. The project grade
will be based upon the instructor’s estimation of the group’s collective results , adjusted for each team member based upon the other
group members’ estimation of the individual’s teamwork and contribution.
The 6 and 12-week exams will primarily focus on the
recent material. 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.
Expect the exams to challenge your understanding of the underlying principles involved – being
able to “eventually” get some web program to “work” via trial and error is not
sufficient understanding for your current education and for your ability to
learn new developments in the future.
Unless otherwise specified, assignments are due promptly
at 2359 on the due date (electronically). Assignments will normally be given on
Thursday and due the following Wednesday.
Assignments will also have a paper copy to turn
in. The paper copy is due during class
on the following work day. If there is
no class, then paper copy is due at 0800 the following day. If
paper copy is later than this, then the whole assignment will be treated as if
submitted when the paper copy arrives.
Paper and electronic copies must exactly match! In
particular, be careful not to modify your submitted files after the deadline,
when you start working on the next assignment. Also, be sure to try to validate
your files before the electronic deadline occurs.

So this means that an
assignment due on Wednesday would be -25% if submitted electronically after 2359
Thursday, and would not be accepted after 2359 Friday.
Take-home
reading quizzes will not be accepted late.
