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. You may not work in teams and turn in team assignments to solve the programming problems. Violating these guidelines will yield an "F" for the course.

All programming assignments must be submitted to the online homework submission system.
Late Programming Assignments All programming assignments are due at the beginning of the class session in which they are due. Late programming assignments will not be accepted. There are no valid excuses for late programming assignments.

All programming assignments must be submitted to the online homework submission system.

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.
Special Needs Emporia State University will make reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Students need to contact the Director of Disability Services and the professor as early in the semester as possible to ensure that classroom and academic accommodations are implemented in a timely fashion. All communication between students, the Office of Disability Services, and the professor will be strictly confidential.
