| Programming Assignment Groundrules | You are expected to write your own programs. You may discuss algorithms, requirements of the assignment, program
testing, etc. with your classmates. It is also acceptable to accept a limited amount of debugging help from others.
However, what you enter into the computer should be your own. The following are not acceptable: copying
another person's program, letting another person use your program disk, using another person's listing, or having
another person write a portion of your program for you. If you have any doubt as to whether collaboration is acceptable,
it is your responsibility to check in advance. If required by the assignment you will turn in a 3.5" diskette containing the programs as described in each of the assignments. The diskette should be labeled with your name, assignment number and course number. |
| Late Programming Assignments | All programming assignments are due at the beginning of the class session in which they are due. Late programming will not be accepted. There are no valid excuses for late programming assignments. |
| Homework Assignments | All homework assignments are due at the beginning of the class session in which they are due. Your homework should be labeled with your name, assignment number and course number. |
| Examinations | All examinations are closed book and closed notes. Study guides will be distributed prior to the examinations. All examinations are comprehensive but will mostly focus on recently covered material. |
| Reading Assignments | It's in your best interest to read the reading assignments prior to class. Reading the reading assignments the evening before the examinations is not recommended. |
