Regular assignments will be posted in Canvas. All assignments are designed to give the student practice with new skills, concepts, and tools covered in class.
Your homework must be turned in on time. Late submissions may be granted partial credit when accompanied by an ingenuitive excuse. Generally speaking, students will learn more if coursework is up-to-date with the lecture. Unfortunately, assignments turned in after course end will receive 0 points.
To receive full credit, your completed assignment should perform the required functionality and, if specified, use the techniques learned during class. Additionally, all code must meet coding style guidelines.
Students will have 1 additional week to correct code rejected for not meeting style guidelines.
Assignments are worth 20 points each.
There will be multiple Quizzes, a Midterm, and a Final Exam. Quizzes will normally be administered in class and may be “group efforts.” Missing a Quiz due to absence will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. In most cases, makeups will be allowed unless absences become problematic. The Midterm and Final Exam will include multiple choice questions, short answer, writing short code snippets, and identifying errors in printed code. Quizzes are worth 20 points each. The Midterm and Final Exam are worth 100 points each.
USB Drive or Cloud Storage and/or Personal Laptop.
While regular attendance is not technically mandatory, in practice, it usually is. This is by design to mimic “real life” scenarios. Often times, showing up is the most important thing. And being present for lectures, quizzes, and code reviews will greatly improve your grade.
This is a programming class and you need to be prepared to work hard and to spend an adequate amount of time outside of the classroom coding.
I encourage you to work with other class members, which is how real life software is produced. However, you must hand in your own assignments. If found cheating, you will receive no credit and be subject to college disciplinary action. For more information, refer to your Academic Dishonesty Policy in the college catalog or student handbook.
Students with documented disabilities requesting class accommodations, requiring special arrangements in case of building evacuation, or have emergency medical information the instructor should know about are asked to contact the disability support services office (DSS) in BE1112. Once the disability is verified with DSS the student will be given a letter of accommodation (LOA) to be handed to instructor.

Students with documented disabilities requesting class accommodations, requiring special arrangements in case of building evacuation, or have emergency medical information the instructor should know about are asked to contact the disability support services office (DSS) in BE1112. Once the disability is verified with DSS the student will be given a letter of accommodation (LOA) to be handed to instructor.
-
If a student contacts the instructor about an accommodation request the instructor will refer the student to the Disability Support Service office in BE1112 for an appointment to discuss accommodation needs.
-
If the DSS office determines that the student does indeed have a disability the student will be given a letter of accommodation (LOA) that will state the accommodation to be implemented.
-
The student’s responsibility is to hand the LOA to the instructor. The instructor will sign the letter (if there is agreement with the accommodation) and give it back to the student. Student will return the LOA to DSS.
