XI. Policy on absences and tardies

Make up exams will only be given with advanced notification or very unusual circumstances. You are responsible for material given in class, including changes of schedule for exams.

Late projects cost two letter grades per day.

XIII. Policy on academic dishonesty

Cheating will result in the instructor's withdrawl of the student with a "fail" grade.

XIV. Disability Arrangements

If you wish to have accomodations made for some disability, you must inform Eduational Access Services at 248-1826 and the instructor in advance.

XV. Evaluation and grading

25% of your grade will be from lecture type material (quizes and homework). 50% of your grade will be from assigned projects. 25% of your grade will be from the final project.

Projects will be graded on an A, B, or F basis:

  • A: Well written and documented, with more bells and whistles than required for the project. Testing procedures must be included with the project.
  • B: Works correctly. Reasonably written. Reasonably documented. Reasonably tested.
  • F: Fails to work. Poorly written, documented, or tested.

You may propose your final project content. At most three people can work on a given project, and the grade will reflect individual contributions to the project.
