I will not be taking attendance but if you startmissing too many classes, please take responsibility for your absence, specially when it concerns tests and homeworks.When you come to class, you must change your cell phones to silent mode. In the tests, the cell phones must becompletely switched off.The grade will be based on programming assignments, presentation, and two tests. All tests will be open book andopen notes but no electronic devices will be permitted. Each assignment must be meticulously documented and clearlyidentify its purpose, author, and date. If you miss any test or assignment without making prior arrangements, you willhave a zero. I will not give any make up tests. The distribution of grades will be as follows:Programming Assignments and Projects 40%Presentation 20%Two non-comprehensive tests 20% each/etc/exam_datesTest 1 October 09, 2008Test 3 December 04, 2008In case of class cancellation due to weather-related or other campus emergency, the test will be held in the followingclass period. For the second test, if the campus is closed on Decmber 04, the alternative date will be the Saturday(December 06, 2008)./etc Failure to hand in any assignment will result in an automatic zero for that assignment. If some student is unableto hand in an assignment by the deadline, he/she must discuss it with me before the deadline. I’ll encourage you totalk to other students regarding homework but you should not collaborate to the extent that two submissions are copiesof each other. If you are found copying an assignment (from another student or internet), or if your submission hasunreasonable similarity to another submission, you get a zero for that assignment automatically.
