Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all work is expected to be
your own individual, unaided (except by Dr.Westall or the TA)
effort.. When you are directed not to discuss the assignment, I
consider this policy to have been violated EVEN IF YOU SIMPLY
ASK ANOTHER STUDENT IF SHE OR HE HAS STARTED (OR FINISHED) THE
ASSIGNMENT. The no discussion rule applies not only to other
students in this class but to ALL HUMAN BEINGS except Dr.
Westall and the TA. Discussion with plants and non-human animals
is permissible as long as no humans are within earshot.
Violations of this policy will be subject to the penalties for
academic dishonesty.

Late assignments will be SUBJECT TO A DEDUCTION OF N SQUARED
where n is the number of days late. Assignments will be due no
later than 11:59pm on the due date. Weekend days count in the
deduction computation. The maximum deduction is 81 points.

Disruptive/distracting behavior (including but not limited to talking
and sleeping) is not permitted in class. Offenders may be asked to
depart at the discretion of the instructor and/or LOSE THE PRIVILEGE
OF TAKING THAT DAYS QUIZ.  Arriving 5 minutes before the end of class to
take the quiz is ACCEPTABLE (but not recommended).

Directory /home/westall/class/322 on the CS dept SUN network contains a
collection of old quizzes, tests, sample programs, and the
course lecture notes in PDF  format. Assignment specs will be
placed there as well. This directory may also be accessed via
