0-5 Attend Lectures. Write C/MATLAB software in groups of up to 3 students in weekly Engineering Workstation (EWS) computer lab. Take weekly Compass quizzes (prelabs) Solve two programming assignments by myself. Take one midterm exam. Study the lecture notes and lab material. Study old exams. Examine the class web-page at least once every three days. And to top it all off Take the final exam.

0-6 Engineering Workstations (EWS) Other Engineering Workstation (EWS) Labs. These support the same software and are available for general use during extended hours. CS101 Lab in DCL L520 TA-assisted CS101 Lab with 41 dedicated workstations running Linux. Open during limited hours. Click and then click on image of DCL. Next, click on “basement”.

0-7 Lab activities will be done in small groups typically of three students. The CS101 Lab is in room DCL L520 and Lab hours are pre-assigned. Lab activities are posted on the CS101 web-site. Material covered in lab activities will be used on the exams.

0-8 1.TAs will assign students into groups in the labs. 2.All students in the same group should get the same score. 3.Every group will be required to work each lab assignment until it is completed. 4.Completion may require lab work beyond the scheduled lab hours. 5.All members of a properly functioning group should receive full lab credit.

0-9 1) discuss with fellow group members. 2) if group discussion fails to answer your question, ask your Lab TA.  Lab assignments: contact TA by or at office hours contact Dr. Gambill  MPs, Exams and Lecture Notes :

0-12 Your course total will be computed from your grades as follows: AssignmentPoint Value MPs (2 worth 50 points each) 100 Lab Activities 100 Prelab Activities 50 Midterm (Matlab material)175 Final( Unix and C material)275 Total700 Note: Absence from the Final Exam results in an ABS grade, even if a student has totaled 400 or more points before the Final Exam. The University will later change ABS grades to F. This policy regarding absence from the Final Exam will be strictly enforced in CS101.

0-13 Students have two weeks (from the date handed back) to request a re-grade or appeal the grade recorded in the GradeBook, for an exam/mp/lab activity. A re-grade will be performed on the entire Prelab/Lab/MP/Exam and can lower the score! In any appeal procedure it is the student's responsibility to keep possession of his/her Prelab/Lab/MP/Exam. In the process of a re-grade a student has to arrange for a TA to modify the grade in the presence of the student. A student should not hand over any material to the TA for keeping. Therefore, a lost or missing Prelab/Lab/MP/Exam is no reason for a modification of a grade.

0-15 CS101 students may participate in the James Scholar Honors program. First, students must complete and submit a form to the Engineering College office. Honors students will be assigned a programming assignment beyond the two MPs assigned in CS101. View the Honors page on the course website for details. Working the Honors assignment has no effect on your CS101 course grade.

0-16 Should you miss an hourly exam or an MP for a legitimate reason such as severe illness you will need to provide a verification letter from the Emergency Dean: 300 Turner Student Services Building 610 East John Street Champaign, IL (217) ( Emergency Dean ) Emergency Dean The letter must state that you have shown proof of your absence.

0-17 If you miss an exam or other assignment worth points for the course then we assume that you will take the makeup exam or turn in the assignment on the first week-day (Monday – Friday) you are back to school as indicated in your note from the Emergency Dean unless we specifically grant you an extension. Any extension given by CS101 staff must be given via (no verbal approvals for extensions).

You need to bring a photo-ID with you to every exam. 2.You will be asked to sign an attendance list at every exam. The proctor will verify your identity with the photo ID. 3.You must also sign your exam. 4.It is your responsibility and not the proctor’s to ensure that you sign the attendance list. 5.If we cannot find your exam and you have not signed the attendance list your exam score is ZERO.

0-19 SEVERE PENALTIES ARE APPLIED FOR THE FOLLOWING: both actively sharing (or copying) all or parts of someone else’s code/answers on MPs/Exams or passively allowing the sharing (or copying) of your own code/answers on MPs/Exams What is cheating? On MPs: allowing others to view your code or reading someone else’s source code constitutes cheating. Students should protect their own work so that another student cannot copy any part of their code. Therefore, if copying has been detected, it will be assumed that cheating has occurred by all parties involved. On Exams: allowing others to view your answers or reading someone else’s answer constitutes cheating.

0-20 Don’t do it. We’ll catch you, and we’ll punish you as outlined in the Code ( penalties ).penalties A zero score for the assignment and a deduction of 20 points from the students course point total. A second occurrence of cheating will mean an automatic grade of F in the course and notification of a Dean in the students college.
