CSCI 161: Intro to Programming I

Course Policies

Attendance: All students are expected to regularly attend classes, and to be prepared for class by doing the assigned readings and by completing all assignments. Only previously approved and university recognized absences are excusable. Excessive (>3) unexcused absences may result in your course grade being lowered one letter grade. Contact me prior to any absence (if possible) in order to obtain clearance.

Academic Honesty
Copying or extensive collaboration on assignments, tests, or lab reports is not permitted and may result in failure in the course. However, you may discuss approaches to solving the problem, as long as the discussion remains above the level of specific Java instructions. You may also seek aid in resolving compiler messages. However, if someone else is typing on your keyboard or you are copying code off someone else's screen, you are getting too much help. Finding or purchasing a solution on the internet or elsewhere and turning that in as your own work is also plagiarism and may result in failure in the course.

Of course, you may ask me questions at any time. Outside of office hours, email is particularly good for this.

Violations of academic honesty will be dealt with according to Millersville University’s Academic Honesty Policy.

Deadlines: Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the assigned due date, unless otherwise specified. No late assignments will be accepted. If your assignment is incomplete, turn it in for possible partial credit. Programs must cleanly compile for any credit. Developing your program incrementally will assure that you always have something for which you can receive some credit.

Exams: There are no make-up exams - if you miss a test, you will receive a zero. Exceptions may be made at my discretion for reasons of illness (as in "on your deathbed") or university excused absences.

Special Needs: Anyone requiring special accommodations should contact me as soon as possible.
