February 12 Last Day to drop courses with no record
March 24 - April 1 Spring Break
April 25 Senior Projects Day CLASS HELD ON FRIDAY April 27
1. Attendance at every class is critical to your success in this course. I expect you to be on time and ready to go once it's 4:00 pm and that you stay until the end of class. Any missed lecture is your responsibility to make up; just remember, if you fall behind, it may be very difficult to catch up.
2. All homework/projects assigned in CS120 are to be submitted by 4:00 pm on the day in which the homework/project is due
3. Homework/projects can be turned in late with a penalty of 10% per day (or portion thereof) meaning that one minute late is the same as 23 hours and 59 minutes late.
4. Make sure to test your solution before you turn it in. You may turn in your solution only once. A request to grade another solution other than the first solution submitted will result in a 10% penalty regardless of whether both solutions are turned in on time or not. Policies 2. and 3. still hold in all cases.
5. No early or late exams/finals will be given.
6. No incompletes will be given.
7. Pacific University has no tolerance for academic dishonesty. It is university policy that all acts of academic dishonesty be reported to the Assistant/Associate Dean. Sanctions that may be imposed for academic dishonesty range from an "F" for the assignment, an "F" for the course, and suspension or dismissal from the university. Forms of academic dishonesty include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, fabrication, cheating, tampering with grades, forging signatures, and using electronic information resources in violation of acceptable use policies. Plagiarism is the use of someone else's words, ideas, or data without proper documentation or acknowledgment; it may entail self-plagiarism, i.e. reusing/resubmitting your own work without approval. Quotations must be clearly marked, and sources of information must be clearly indicated in all student work. Please consult the Academic Conduct Policies in the A&S Catalog.
8. Neither computer failure, software failure, nor lack of computer access are accepted as excuses for late work; therefore, start work on your homework/projects as soon as they are assigned, and don't put them off until the last minute. Further, corruption of work due to bad disk media is also not accepted as an excuse for late work; therefore, always keep a current backup of all of your work on a separate storage medium. Please note that the departmental servers are not backed up.
9. I reserve the right to raise or lower your grade based on class participation and attendance. Specifically, I may lower your grade or may officially withdraw you from the course through the tenth week of the semester for poor attendance or participation. Further, your final grade may be lowered by 1/3 of your final course grade for each day (or portion thereof) of class missed. Please notify me PRIOR to class if you must miss class for any reason. Just sending an email prior to missing class does not guarantee you will be cleared to miss. Only legitimate reasons will be accepted as excuses for missing class.
10. Any important issue pertaining to class such as the need to miss an exam or grade issues will not be discussed via email. Speak to me in person. I will not even reply to your email if the issue is important; therefore, do not assume that no response means everything is OK.
11. You may be asked to leave the classroom if you are causing a distraction e.g. cell phone ringing, talking, etc
12. If you are unhappy with something related to the class, then schedule an appointment to see me so that we can discuss it in my office. Complaining in class or out of class to other people gets us nowhere.
13. If you have a complaint regarding a grade on an assignment or exam, write a one paragraph description of why you feel the grade is incorrect and deliver it to the instructor. The paragraph must be delivered to the instructor within one calendar week of when the graded material is returned to the student.
