{\loch\af0 , and at least one needs to be brought to each lab session. }{\b\loch\af0 Put your name and phone number on the disks' labels.}{\loch\af0 
 You might also want to put the instructor's name and course number on the labels, since disks inadvertently left in labs often get
 returned to the instructor. You will not usually turn these in, but you are expected to keep copies of all of your assigned programs on these disks, and you must turn them in if asked to do so.}{
\par 
\par }{\loch\af0 You are also required to have a working on-campus}{\b\loch\af0  e-mail account}{\loch\af0  that you check }{\b\loch\af0 regularly}{\loch\af0 
. Course-related announcements will be sent during the semester using either the course mailing list linked to the Blackboard course site or to the class roll on Banner. You are also expected to check the course web page }{\b\loch\af0 regularly}{
\loch\af0 
 --- course handouts and homeworks will be posted there, as well as course-related announcements and possibly more. Grades will be posted to the course Blackboard site --- you are expected to monitor these, as well, and to let me know of any discrepanci
es.}{
\par }{\b 
\par }{\b\loch\af0 No homeworks or exercises will be accepted late. }{\loch\af0 
If you wish to receive any credit for a homework or exercise, then you must turn in whatever you have by its deadline. Each homework and exercise will have its date and time due clearly indicated. If it
 is due at the beginning of a lecture or lab session, then it will }{\b\loch\af0 not}{\loch\af0 
 be accepted after class has begun --- this is to discourage students from missing class in order to finish an assignment. You might as well come to class on time, and turn in what you have at that point. }{
\par 
\par }{\loch\af0 Please note that "the computer going down" is no excuse --- if you leave a homework or exercise to the last minute and there are technical problems, you still must turn in whatever you have by the deadline. }{
\par 
\par }{\loch\af0 Unless }{\b\loch\af0 explicitly }{\loch\af0 noted as otherwise, all homeworks and exercises are to be the work of each student, }{\b\loch\af0 individually}{\loch\af0 
 --- this is not a group or team programming course. Before you can contribute as part of a programming team, you need to reach a certain level of programming maturity. }{\b\loch\af0 
You should not show your code to any other student or see the code of another student. }{
\par 
\par }{\loch\af0 Group work on }{\b\loch\af0 any}{\loch\af0  graded assignment is strictly forbidden (unless it is CLEARLY noted otherwise on that assignment); no collaboration or cooperation is permitted. }{\b\loch\af0 If 
two or more students are working together on homeworks and exercises, that is cheating. }{\loch\af0 You may discuss }{\b\loch\af0 general concepts}{\loch\af0 
 of the course with one another, of course --- such discussion is encouraged. Studying together for tests is particularly encouraged. But, homeworks and exercises are to be }{\b\loch\af0 individual}{\loch\af0  work. }{\b\loch\af0 General}{\loch\af0 
 concepts of homeworks and exercises may be carefully discussed --- a useful rule of thumb is that }{\b\loch\af0 none}{\loch\af0  of the students in the discussion should be writing }{\b\loch\af0 anything}{\loch\af0 
 down during such discussion, or looking at }{\b\loch\af0 anyone's }{\loch\af0 computer terminal --- but, for example, if one student is telling (or, worse, showing) another how to do a particular problem, those students are going too far. (}{\b\loch\af0 
General}{\loch\af0  discussion of the meaning of a particular computer error message is probably all right.) }{\b\loch\af0 Copying or modifying of another's computer files, or providing computer files to another, relat
ed to homeworks is definitely over the line, and never justified.}{\loch\af0 
 Note that it is your responsibility to ensure that homework and exercise files are protected, and that printouts are not left where anyone else can find them and copy from them. If you are c
areless about this, and someone else copies your work, you will share the penalty. (}{\b\loch\af0 
NOTE --- this means that leaving homework and exercise files on the N: drives in the labs should NOT be done, and IS subject to penalty if discovered. ANYONE can read and write files left on the labs' N: drives.)}{
\par 
\par }{\loch\af0 I will not tolerate cheating on homework assignments, exercises, quizzes, or tests; work showing significant duplication will receive no credit for anyone involved, and neither will any work done by anyone other th
an the person handing it in. The University's policies on academic honesty will be enforced.}{
\par 
\par }{\loch\af0 The best way to approach a programming course, in general, is to diligently keep up with the course reading, start each homework early, practice programming as muc
h as possible, and ask questions about anything that you are unclear about. Please do not hesitate to ask me questions in class, in office hours, by phone, or by e-mail. And, good luck this semester!}{
