Grade Policy:
All exams heavily reflect the labs and assignments. Therefore, you cannot rely on a teammate to do your work. No exam grades are dropped. A request to reschedule a missed exam will only be granted under clearly extraordinary circumstances, which must be supported by appropriate documentation specified by the Instructor. Otherwise, a missed exam receives a grade of zero. All graded work must be submitted as directed. You are expected to attend all classes and work diligently in lab.
Exemptions/Waivers/Extra Credit:
All students are subject to the same course requirements and eligible for the same extra credit opportunities. It is each student's responsibility to make whatever academic, personal and professional arrangements are needed to succeed in the course.
Development Environment:
The course will standardize on Java version 11 or later and Eclipse IDE, both running on the Windows operating system. They are available on the course website and the Computer Lab has these tools installed. Instructional support is only provided for student PCs that conform to these specifications.
Academic Dishonesty:
All graded work that you do for this course must be the sole result of your own efforts unless directed otherwise. You may not do work for another student nor may any student copy or plagiarize someone else’s work. You may not assist, facilitate or enable another student's academic dishonesty, even if unintentional. Severe penalties will be imposed on all parties involved, and any grade assigned due to academic dishonesty will not be dropped! If you have any questions on this matter, contact the Instructor.
Incompletes:
The Instructor does not grant incompletes. Any exception is at the Instructor’s sole discretion and must be due to extraordinary circumstances supported by verifiable documentation.
Classroom Conduct:
Courteous, professional conduct is expected at all times. Food and beverages are not permitted.
Electronic Devices:
Unless otherwise approved for use in class, all electronic devices must be turned off and kept out of sight during class. No recording devices may be used without Instructor's permission.
Email:
All email from the Instructor will be sent to your nccu email address. You should check it regularly. Email to the Instructor is for routine, brief messages (e.g., requesting an appointment). It is not for tutorials; help with an assignment, request for a grade or discussion about a grade. If you need substantive assistance, contact the Instructor.
Disability:
The Instructor strongly endorses the University’s policy on disabilities: If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, you are encouraged to contact the Instructor and Disability at the university.
Rules for Labs & Assignment Submissions:
• You only have one chance to make up your late lab submission and only for one lab. (Please contact TA)
• Bonus lab is for bonus, so no chance for making up.
• For each assignment, you are allowed to submit a week later but get 20% off of your grading. Later than a week will be not acceptable.
• If you have any special issues that will result in your late submission, please contact the instructor and specify the reason for the late submission (reasons such as “I don’t have time” or “my computer is broken” are not acceptable).
• If you have any problem of any grading (lab, assignment, and exam), please contact TA within one week after the announcement of grading (either by emailing or posting on Moodle). For example, TA announces your assignment 1’s grade on late September. If you get a problem, you are supposed to contact TA as soon as possible. Further requests on adjusting your grades are not acceptable (for example, reasons such as “I didn’t notice that” are not acceptable).
• Inconsistent/wrong naming (for file/project names) will deduct points for 10%.
• You are responsible for your academic performance, so please don’t cheat on any assignment, lab or exam. Also, you are supposed to check whether the file you uploaded to Moodle is empty or not.
• According to an empty file issue, TA will give a feedback on that and give you 0. Once again, please check grading after the announcement.
