programs explored in class. Computers, hardware and software packages that
will be needed for this course are available in a number of campus labs,
including the Center for Technology in Learning and Teaching (CTLT) computer

camcorders, laptops, can be checked out from CTLT at N031 Lagomarcino Hall.
Academic
Dishonesty
This course will follow the policies on academic dishonesty as adopted by the
university. Academic dishonesty includes submitting as one’s own work
prepared by others, assisting another student in academic dishonesty, and
plagiarism among other behaviors specified in the university policy. Plagiarism
is the “Unacknowledged use of the information, ideas, or phrasing of other
writers is an offense comparable with theft and fraud, and it is so recognized by
the copyright and patent laws. Literary offenses of this kind are known as
plagiarism.” (2005-2007 Iowa State University Catalog)
You are expected to turn in original work (your own or that of your team) for
every part of every deliverable in this course. Please add the full reference of any
sources (text, image or audio) if any. Any instances of academic dishonesty will
be handled in the manner prescribed in the University policy on academic
dishonesty, which is available at http://www.iastate.edu/~catalog/200507/geninfo/dishonesty.html. You are responsible for being familiar with this
policy.
