Course Assessment

• Readings and participation (30%): Students are required to attend class, to complete reading assignments and to participate in discussions and engage in healthy exchange of ideas. Each student is required to lead at least one reading from the assigned weekly readings. This discussion lead will be graded.
• Assignments (30%): Programming assignment will be given at the end of each class, and the solutions to these assignments should be e-mailed to Assignments@FenyoLab.org within a week.
• Final project (40%)

Make-up examinations (for final only) will be given under special circumstances. Documentation will be required to verify a student’s claim. If a make-up exam is permitted, a different exam will be written for that student and may have a different format than the regular examination.

The assignments must be turned in on time and no late assignments will be accepted.

If there is a time that you believe that there is a mistake in grading of an assignment/exam, you will have a chance to appeal your exam grade within a week after you receive your grade. If you think this is the case, you must write a note describing the error, attach it to the original exam, and give it to me within a week of the return of your exam. I will review your argument and my initial grading, and then return your exam with a decision to you in a timely manner.

General Policies

• Late/missed work: You must adhere to the due dates for all required submissions. If you miss a deadline, then you will not get credit for that assignment/post. Try to avoid last minute submissions.
• Incompletes: No “Incompletes” will be assigned for this course unless we are at the very end of the course and you have an emergency.
• Responding to Messages: I will check e-mails daily during the week, and I will respond to course related questions within 48 hours.
• Announcements: I will make announcements throughout the semester by e-mail. Make sure that your email address is updated; otherwise you may miss important emails from me.
• Safeguards: Always back up your work on a safe place (electronic file with a backup is recommended) and make a hard copy. Do not wait for the last minute to do your work. Allow time for deadlines.
• Plagiarism: Plagiarism, the presentation of someone else's words or ideas as your own, is a serious offense and will not be tolerated in this class. The first time you plagiarize someone else's work, you will receive a zero for that assignment. The second time you plagiarize, you will fail the course with a notation of academic dishonesty on your official record.
