I will respond to emails within 24 weekday hours unless an exception is noted through email or D2L. Please note that this means if you email me over the weekend or the night before an exam or assignment submission, I am not guaranteed to respond. Start labs when they are assigned.
I will frequently send announcements through email. I will also post new/additional material on the course website. Read over it by the date indicated on the announcement. Under inclement weather, due dates may be pushed back or changed at my discretion, so please pay attention to all announcements.
I will primarily use D2L as the grade portal for classes. The submission portion will also be leveraged for homework assignments. Lecture material and notes are accessible through the course website (found on my homepage).
Autolab will be used for submitting laboratory assignments throughout the semester.
I hold office hours for your benefit. Please do not hesitate to show up to office hours! Office Hours are entirely ad-hoc -- this means that I will be flexible to accommodate your work time.
I will grade on a ten-point grading scale. I will not round any grades. An 89.51 will be classified as a B+
You must earn at least a 70% average across all exams to earn a C- or higher in the course
You must attempt all examinations and assignments to pass the course.
Copying or extensive collaboration on assignments and/or examinations is not permitted and may result in failure of the course and expulsion from the University. You may discuss approaches to solving a problem, as long as the discussion remains above the level of detail expected for the course. You may also seek aid in resolving compiler messages. However, if you copy a code fragment verbatim, you are likely committing academic dishonesty. If you copy a code fragment and rename variables, you are likely committing academic dishonesty. Obtaining a solution on the Internet or elsewhere and submitting it as your own work is plagiarism and will result in severe disciplinary measures. Be sure you can explain every line of every program you submit. Writing code is no different than writing a paper — if it was not your original idea, then you should not submit it as your own work.
Millersville University and its faculty are committed to assuring a safe and productive educational environ- ment for all students.

The only exceptions to the faculty member’s reporting obligation are when incidents of sexual violence are communicated by a student during a classroom discussion, in a writing assignment for a class, or as part of a University-approved research project. Faculty members are obligated to report to the person designated in the University Protection of Minors policy incidents of sexual violence or any other abuse of a student who was, or is, a child (a person under 18 years of age) when the abuse allegedly occurred. Information regarding the reporting of sexual violence, and the resources that are available to victims of sexual violence, is available at http://www.millersville.edu/sexualviolence/index.php
