1. Class/lab participation is essential in learning computer technology. It is your responsibility to attend the class/lab in order to achieve good learning, therefore obtain a good grade.
2. You must NOT miss an exam/quiz and the presentation unless you have a verifiable excuse. An unexcused absence from a presentation/exam will result in a numerical grade of zero for it.
The integrity of students is a critical component of the academic process. All written work submitted in this course must be individual work unless the instructor assigns a team of students to work on an assignment. Students must properly document all outside sources used for projects, programs, and homework. The submission of another’s work as one’s own is plagiarism, and will be dealt with using the procedures outlined on the Undergraduate Catalog. You may view the honor code online. (Back to top)
