Attendance I recommend that you attend every class. Those who attend class have a better chance of passing the course. I will take attendance during each class.

Extra Credit These will be assignments that I post from time to time.

Late Policy for Extra Credit Extra Credit may not be handed in late. If they are one minute late, then they will not be graded.

Homework The homework asignments will be related. Each one will use details from the previous assignment. You must correct the previous assignment before handing in the succeeding assignment, if you don't want to lose more points for the same errors.

Late Policy for Homework Each homework may be submitted, with penalty, up to one day late. After that time, they will not be accepted. A late homework will lose 10% if it is submitted within 12 hours of the due time. It will lose an additional 10% for if it is submitted within 24 hours.

• Late up to 12 hours: -10%
• Late up to 24 hours: -20%
• Late more than 24 hours: no credit.

Working Together on the Homework is NOT ALLOWED. There is a large difference between discussing general aspects of the course and discussing specific aspects of a project. Do not discuss your solution of a problem with others. Do not share your solution with others.

If you are looking at someone else's code or someone else is looking at your code, then you are working together.

For assignments that are too similar, an Academic Misconduct will be filed with the University. If the student does not have any prior Academic Misconducts, then an informal resolution can be granted which will result in the assignment being graded as a zero or at least one letter grade being deducted from the student's final grade, whichever penalty is more severe.
