Examination Policy: All class examinations are considered to be a major part of the course work upon which a large part of the course grade depends. There are NO make-up exams! Class examinations will be announced at least two classes prior to the examination. If you have a conflict with another university event, you must contact me well in advance of the examination. In case of an extreme emergency, contact me before the scheduled examination. Failure to do so will result in an examination grade of zero. There are no exemptions for the final examination and no changes in taking the final examination. All students must take the final exam. A zero on the final exam will result in an F in the course.

Assignment Policy: All assignments are due at the announced time on the specified due date. Assignments will not be accepted late. If you have a conflict, please contact me in advance. Please Note: You will be given assignments and quizzes during the last five class days of the semester. You should turn in your homework assignments done neatly, clearly, and to the best of you ability. Follow all the instructions given. You will lose points for failure to follow instructions. Any work turned in to my box should be dated and timed by the CSC department staff. Please ask nicely. Do not slide any work under my door or under the door to the Computer Science Offices.
University Drop Policy The official university add/drop policy is located at: http://www.sfasu.edu/policies/add_drop.asp If you have questions concerning registration, add/drop or the withdraw process, contact the Registrar at (936) 468-2501 or E-mail: REGISTRAR@SFASU.EDU The Registrar is located on the 2nd floor of the Rusk building.
Computer Account Policy: All assignments that require the use of the University Computer must be done under the computer account that is assigned to you in this class. You should NOT do other class assignments in this account, and you should NOT do assignments from this class in other accounts. Failure to abide by the above statements will mean that you will receive a grade of F in this course.
Software Policy: Disciplinary action will be taken against individuals who perform unauthorized duplication of computer software or who are involved in the unauthorized use of duplicated software. This action may make it impossible for you to complete this course.
Academic Integrity: Please review the University policy on Academic Integrity. Academic dishonesty includes both cheating and plagiarism. Cheating includes but is not limited to (1) using or attempting to use unauthorized materials to aid in achieving a better grade on a component of a class; (2) the falsification or invention of any information, including citations, on an assigned exercise; and/or (3) helping or attempting to help another in an act of cheating or plagiarism. Plagiarism is presenting the words or ideas of another person as if they were your own. Examples of plagiarism are (1) submitting an assignment as if it were one’s own work when, in fact, it is at least partly the work of another; (2) submitting a work that has been purchased or otherwise obtained from an Internet source or another source; and (3) incorporating the words or ideas of an author into one’s paper without giving the author due credit. All instances of academic dishonesty will be reported to Office of the Dean of the student’s major. This report shall be made part of the student’s record and shall remain on file with the Dean’s office for at least four years. Instances of academic dishonesty may also be reported to the University Committee on Academic Integrity. A student who wishes to appeal decisions related to academic integrity follows procedures outlined in University policy A-2.
If in my judgment an instance of academic dishonesty on an exam has occurred, a grade of zero will be assigned and a minimum of one (1) letter grade will be lost in the course grade. Please note that being in possession of a cell phone or other electronic device during an exam will result in an examination grade of zero. A student found cheating on an examination may not drop the course. If in my judgment a student is found cheating on any part of a homework assignment or quiz, the student will receive negative points equal to the value of the entire homework/quiz. A negative grade will not be replaced by any possible bonus assignment. I consider the person who did the work ( homework, quiz, test) and the person copying the work as both cheating. Do your own work. Do not share your work with others. A course grade of F may be assigned depending on the situation.
Computing Laboratory Usage: Students who utilize equipment in university computing laboratories are expected to read and abide by all posted policies for the laboratories. Please note that no children are permitted in university computing laboratories.
Special Accommodation Request: Students with special accommodation have the responsibility to immediately initiate a meeting with the instructor to discuss how the special accommodations will be provided. Students who are aware of these special needs at the beginning of the semester must inform the instructor in person about any event which requires special accommodations. To obtain disability related accommodations and/or auxiliary aids, students with disabilities must contact the Office of Disability Services, Wisely Hall, Room 104, 468-3004/468-1004 (TDD) as early as possible in the semester. Once verified, DS will notify the course instructor and outline the accommodation and/or auxiliary aids to be provided.
Identification: Valid SFA student I.D. cards with CID (not SSN) must be presented on each exam day. (No I.D...No exam...Grade of zero)
