11. Course Requirements and Policies Attendance • You are expected to show up on time for class and stay for the whole lecture. Students are expected to participate in class activities and discussions. • If a student was absent in any lecture, then she is expected to read the lecture material and is welcomed for any specific question she may have. • You are required to have your cell phone off at all times during the lecture. You may not make or receive calls on your cell phone in the lecture hall. • You are not allowed to stay wearing 3abaya during lecture time.

Course Requirements and Policies Homework Assignments • Homework problems, which are critically important for understanding and reinforcing the course material, will be assigned weekly and posted on the class web site along with the due dates. • You need to submit both a hard copy and a soft copy for your assignment. • Write your information especially your name and section on your floppy/CD. The CD will contain your whole project. • You are responsible for turning in your own work on all assignments. Unauthorized collusion is not allowed and constitutes a violation of the university's policies on academic integrity. • You are responsible for protecting your work from being copied by others. • Late assignments will not be accepted for any reason.

You must submit a written make-up request with proof to the instructor.

15. Academic Misconduct Policy • While you are free to discuss the course material with your classmates, collaboration on homework or programming assignments is not permitted. • Helping a friend understand the intent of a homework or programming assignment specification is permitted. Students who work together too closely (e.g. design their solution together) should be aware that this is a form of cheating called COLLUSION and is subject to academic penalties. Penalties for academic misconduct include a failing grade in this course. • Acts that exceed the bounds defined by the approved collaboration practices will be considered cheating. Such acts include: • Copying solutions from someone else or giving someone else your solutions. • Participation in a discussion group that develops a solution that everyone copies. • We urge everyone in the class to take appropriate measures for protecting one's work. You should protect your files, homework solution sheets, etc. as deemed reasonable.
