INFSCI 0015: Data Structures (or equivalent). This means that I have the following expectations:
Academic Honesty
Honesty and integrity are qualities we respect in ourselves and in
others. Therefore, you are expected to be fully aware of your responsibility
to maintain a high quality of integrity in all of your work. Furthermore,
you are expected to have read and understood the University
Guidelines for Academic Integrity. Any unauthorized collaboration or
copying will result in no credit for the affected assignment (at minimum!)
Submitted Work
By submitting work under your name, you are indicating that you
have completed the assignment. This means that you should be able to completely
explain every line of code in your program. Failure to be able to account
for your coding decisions (to my satisfaction) will be reflected in your
grade.
Late Assignments
One of the goals of this course is to train you to accurately and efficiently
program in C++. Your grade will measure how well you achieve this goal.
However, I understand that circumstances conspire against us all, and when
3 term papers and a programming assignment are due within a 24-hour span,
something has to give. Therefore, you have 5 late days that are penalty-free
to use at your discretion (i.e. you may use them on a single assignment,
or distribute them over several assignments.). Any submission beyond your
grace period will be penalized 20% per day.
Resubmitting Assignments
Another goal of this class (or any educational experience), is to be
able to learn from our mistakes. Whenever your submissions contain errors,
you will have 7 days to resubmit a corrected version for up to 50% of the
difference.
Office Hours
Office hours are an opportunity for you to clarify details you may
have missed in class. They are not a place to get answers on the
assignment. If you come to office hours with a problem on the assignment,
you should come prepared to answer questions, as well as asking them. Additionally,
you need to make sure that you have access to an electronic version of
your code.
