Attendance Policy Students are expected to attend all class lectures and lab sessions. Your grade will be a reflection of the time you spend inside and outside of class.

You are expected to create, edit and print out YOUR OWN assignments and take tests without outside assistance. All work is expected to be your own. Academic Ethics

You should never look at or review another person’s work for any given assignment; that includes looking at papers or even at the computer screen where student work is displayed. You should never give an answer to or receive an answer for an assignment, or any parts of any assignment, from another person; again, that includes source code, design documents, homework, etc.

Academic Ethics If you collaborate with another person for a graded assignment as in the example activities noted above, all parties involved will receive a zero for that assignment. If there are further assignments for which you have collaborated, all students involved will receive an F in the class and a report will be filed with the Honor Council.

Academic Ethics The Dean of Computer Science and Engineering and Dean of Students will be notified for further action. All further correspondence will be done through their offices. THEREFORE, it is imperative if you need help on your assignments that you contact your instructor or TA and NOT someone else.
