Minimum Passing Requirement:

Class Policies:
Assigned work is to be submitted at the class time on the due date. There will be a late penalty of 5% per day including weekends. Your work will not be graded after 10 days (unless prior arrangement is made because of illness etc.) All the work should be turned in, however, to pass the course. Unless otherwise stated explicitly, you are to complete your work individually. Collaboration is also considered cheating. Identical programs, look-alike, or obvious joint efforts will result in an E grade for all involved. Note that it is your responsibility to protect your work so that others will not copy it.
You are responsible for making yourself aware of and understanding the policies and procedures in the [Undergraduate Catalog (pp. 268-269)/Graduate Catalog (pp. 26-27)] that pertain to academic integrity. These policies include cheating, fabrication, falsification and forgery, multiple submission, plagiarism, complicity and computer misuse. If there is reason to believe you have been involved in academic dishonesty, you will be referred to the Office of Student Conduct. You will be given the opportunity to review the charge(s). If you believe you are not responsible, you will have the opportunity for a hearing. You should consult with me if you are uncertain about an issue of academic honesty prior to the submission of an assignment or test.

Dropping of Class:
The last day to drop classes is January 10, 2003 (100% refund) and March 17, 2003 (without academic penalty).
