• CS Department Policy Concerning Programming Projects, COMPSCIDEPTINST 1531.1C

All assignments are considered "routine" unless your instructor specifically indicates that it is a "project." All quizzes and exams must be entirely your own work. The following summarizes these policies as they apply to this course. Consult your instructor if you need further clarification.

Exams & Quizzes: All written exams and quizzes will be closed book. Practicum exams will be given during a lab period. You may only use your paper-based notes, the official class notes from the web, or your textbook for the practicum. On all exams, quizzes, and practicums you may not receive help from anyone.

Projects: All projects MUST be submitted in order to possibly pass this class. You must do your own work in designing, implementing, and testing your projects without assistance from anyone except for your instructor. The Department Policy Concerning Programming Projects provides detailed guidance.

Labs & Homework: Collaborative conversations with regard to syntax and strategies for accomplishing labs and "routine" out of class programming assignments (labs & homework) other than projects are allowed, however design and implementation must be the work of the individual student handing in the final product. Thus, the actual pencil-to-paper or fingers-to-keyboard work must be your own. Copying a file or parts of a file from anyone is prohibited. All assistance and collaboration must be documented, and Midshipmen must clearly state on their assignment who they collaborated with.
Note: Although labs are treated as "routine" in this class, so that collaboration is allowed to the same extent as for homework, other courses in the department will treat them differently! So do not assume this is standard!

Any cheating will result in, at a minimum, a zero for the assignment, quiz, or exam in question.

• 28%: Final Exam The final exam will be cumulative, but will emphasize the last 6 Weeks of the course.
• 22%: Exams 1 and 2
• 27%: Projects
• 13%: Labs Labs will be due before the start of the following lab. No late submissions will be accepted without an excused absence.
• 10%: Homeworks
Expect a small assignment after every class. Assignments will be due at the beginning of the class following the assignment. No late submissions will be accepted without an excused absence.

Mid-semester grades for the 6-Week and 12-Week marking periods will be calculated by applying the above weights to the averages for homework, projects and exams graded up to that point. So, for example, your "Final Exam" grade component at the 12-week point would be taken as the average of the 6 and 12 week exams. Any changes to the grading policy will be announced in class and be reflected by changes in this document.

• calling the section to attention at the beginning and end of class reporting absences to the instructor
• contacting the department office (3-6800, Room 346) if the instructor is more than 10 minutes late for class
• directing the class in productive work if the instructor is absent
