Policies

I do not condone academic dishonesty in any form. Students may not copy work from
each other or from any outside source. If you are suspected of plagiarizing on an
assignment or cheating on an exam, you will receive zero credit and the Dean of
Students will be notified.

Assignments are not team projects, and should be completed individually. While you
may discuss assignments with your peers, your code should be your own. If two students
turn in the same assignment, each will receive 50% of the grade.

Cell phones and pagers must be turned off while in the classroom.
 Do not use computers during lecture unless you are taking notes. During class,
computers are to be used only for course-related work, not for checking email, playing
games or surfing the Web. These activities are distracting to your classmates and
disrespectful to the instructor.
