CNT4713 Section 01
Net-centric Computing
Spring 2021

Grade Calculation
The grade for the course will be based on three types of assessments: coding evaluations (18 points), quizzes on homework examples (60 points), exams on course lectures and homework examples (120 points). The total of all points is 198.
Three Coding Evaluations
GitHub Account
Create a GitHub account go to github.com and create an account send me an email from your FIU email account containing your github username Refer to Canvas for the link to create a repo for your first assignment. Experiment with python and post your work in your repo. Post examples from class, problem set solutions, and your own experimentations. Post often for maximum points.
A coding evaluation is a self-evaluation submitted by each student. Summarize your coding contributions in GitHub for the current problem set. I will compare your evaluation with your actual postings in GitHub and assign a grade. If you do not submit an evaluation, you will not receive any points for your coding contribution.
Coding Evaluation Weight		6 points each
Three Quizzes
Each quiz will be based on homework questions. It will have questions that are similar to questions from the homework.
Quiz Weight		20 points each
Three Exams
Each exam will have practical and theoretical problems, as well as coding in python.
Exam Weight		40 points each
Grading Scale
The grade for the course will be based on the following scale. The scale is based on the sum of your scores on the coding evaluations, quizzes and exams.
Scale		A: 169; A-: 161; B+: 153; B: 145; B-: 137; C+: 129; C: 113; D: 90

Room and Time
(none) (none) (none) (none)

Attendance I recommend that you attend every class. Those who attend class have a better chance of passing the course.

Homework I will assign homework. The homework will not be collected and will not be graded. Some questions from the quizzes will be similar to the homework assignment examples. You may work together on the assignments, it will probably help you to understand them. The homework will be reviewed in class.

Prerequisites

If you do not meet the prerequisites, you will be dropped from the course during the first week. Swap out of the course now to avoid late fees.

Academic Honesty

Statement of Understanding between Professor and Student

Every student must respect the right of all to have an equitable opportunity to learn and honestly demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students must adhere to a standard of academic conduct, demonstrating respect for themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of the University.

As a student taking this class:

• I will not represent someone else's work as my own.
• I will not cheat, nor will I aid in another's cheating.
• I will be honest in my academic endeavors.
• I understand that if I am found responsible for academic misconduct, I will be subject to the academic misconduct procedures and sanctions as outlined in the Student Handbook.

Failure to adhere to the guidelines stated above may result in one of the following:

• Expulsion: Permanent separation of the student from the University, preventing readmission to the institution. This sanction shall be recorded on the student’s transcript.
• Suspension: Temporary separation of the student from the University for a specific period of time.

By taking this online course, I promise to adhere to FIU's Student Code of Academic Integrity. For details on the policy and procedures go to ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT.
