Assessment: |
There will be weekly labs and/or classwork as well as weekly homework. There will be
two exams, a project and a final. The various components of the course will be weighted as
follows:

Printing: |
Note that a student is allotted 400 sheets of paper per semester to be printed in the classroom labs, open labs and library. A student can pay more if he or she wishes to exceed this limit. Think about what you are printing and how you are printing it. | |||||||||||||||
Self-Study: |
The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science will be conducting
a self-study during the next few years. A part of this process involves
inviting external experts who will review our course offerings, assessment
measures, and student work. For this reason, faculty members will keep
sample copies of students’ work including tests, homework assignments,
programming assignments, and projects. Every effort will be made to ensure
individual names are eliminated from these “artifacts.” If
you prefer not to have your work included in this collection, please inform
your instructor. |

Classroom Behavior: |
While in the classroom, students should behave in a manner that is neither distracting to nor disrespectful to the professor or other students. Cell phones should be turned off. |

Cheating: |
When using materials from a book, website, etc., the source must be cited, otherwise it is considered plagiarism. Claiming another's work as your own is cheating. A student caught cheating will receive a score of zero. Repeated cheating can result in a failing grade for the course. Asking another for help on a step or two in a many step homework is acceptable; handing in duplicate or nearly duplicate work is not. If you require a significant amount of assitance, you should seek my help. Finally, openly allowing your work to be copied is also cheating. |
