Grading:

Policies and Procedures

• Programs and Homework.
  Programs and assignments will be assigned on the web pages. Students will be notified in class and/or by email. Please check your email frequently. The due date for each program or homework assignment will be specified in the assignment. Programs and assignments are to be submitted electronically and are due by the end (i.e., 11:59 pm) of the specified due date, unless otherwise specified.

• Late Submissions.
  Late programs and assignments will not be accepted.

• Class attendance.
  A student absent from class is responsible for all assigned work, tests, or material covered during the class.

• Project/Presentation
  All students will conduct research on an approved topic, design and implement a solution, write a User's Manual and a Technical Reference Manual, develop a poster, paper summarizing results of the research, and present the topic in class. Details on the project will be provided later in the semester.

• Graduate Students
  Students taking CPSC 663 will write a technical paper suitable for submission to a professional conference.

• Optional Teams
  Undergraduate students may optionally form teams of two when working on the projects. All homework and programming assignments, however, must be done individually.

• Cheating.
  Unless otherwise stated explicitly in an assignment or lab, each student must do his or her work independently. The University and Departmental policies on academic dishonesty apply. Publicly-available sources for code or other material may be freely used if appropriately attributed. Similarly, code that is obtained from others must be appropriately attributed (but using substantial amounts of code obtained from someone else will not necessarily receive full credit). Each student is responsible for protecting his or her files from access by others. Work that is essentially the same and submitted without proper attribution is considered to be a violation of academic dishonesty policies by all those submitting the work, regardless of who actually did the work.

• Cancelled class.
  If the university cancels classes on the day of a scheduled test, the test will be rescheduled.

• Instructor late.
  If the instructor is late for class, students are expected to wait for 30 minutes after the class period starts before leaving .
