CS160 - Course Grades and Policies

The instructor reserves the right to give higher grades on an individual basis to students who show significant progress during the semester, participate actively in class and the labs, etc.

Absences
Class/Homework - lecture attendance is not mandatory, but if you miss a class, you are still responsible for the material covered in the lecture and any assignment that is made. Your absence does not change the due date of any assignment.
Exams - do not expect makeup examinations to be given. Only highly unusal situations with supportive evidence or documentation will be considered.
Quizzes - makeup quizzes will not be given. If you miss a lecture when a quiz is given, a score of zero will result, unless you request within 24 hours and are granted an excused absence. Only highly unusal situations with supportive evidence or documentation will be considered.

Due Date Policy
Homework - all homework assignments are due at the beginning of class on the specified due date.

NO LATE HOMEWORK ASSIGMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

Assistance Policy
You should research and study the material yourself before seeking help from any one! After reasonable individual effort, assistance should be sought from a TA or the instructor. Note their office hours on the course web site. Discussion with other class members may also prove helpful. If you do not understand the material, please seek help; do not let material not mastered accumulate.

You may discuss homework and lab assignments with other students in the class; however, you MUST perform all the actual work (programming, mathematics, analyses, reports, etc.) yourself. (A good rule of thumb is that if, while you are programming or writing up your work, you can see someone else's work, you are on very questionable ground.) Cheating will not be tolerated! The result of cheating will be a zero for the assignment, written notification given to the student, Department Head, and Dean of Students, and may well result in a final grade of F for the entire course.

Special Needs
If a student has any condition, such as a physical or mental disability, that will make it difficult to carry out any assignment or that will require extra time on examinations or laboratory assignments, please notify the instructor in the first two weeks of the course. Any student with permit from the Office of Disability Services will be provided reasonable accommodation.
