Policies

1. Academic Conduct Regulations: http://www2.oakland.edu/deanofstudents/handbook/acr.cfm 
2. Unless students are working together as a team, the programs submitted and reports must be original work . Students may discuss the program designs, but the programming must be their own.   Violations will be referred to the University Committee on Academic Conduct.
3. All  materials submitted must be securely stapled or otherwise bound; otherwise they will not be accepted.
4. Class attendance is optional (but usually quite necessary, and may be monitored). Students are responsible for getting copies of all handouts. It is recommended that you make arrangements with a colleague to pick-up handouts for you if you are absent.  Failure to receive a hand-out  due to absence or tardiness will not excuse you from any requirements.
5. Make-up exams will be given only if adequate. Advance notice of the absence should be given, and then only in the case of extenuating circumstances, beyond the control of the student that the make-up will be accepted.  If a student misses an exam without proper justification, his grade in this exam will be zero.  If you have an unavoidable business trip at the time of an exam, I prefer that you take the exam in advance.
6. If the University is closed (due to inclement weather or other reason) on a day during which an exam is scheduled or an assignment is due, that exam will be held, or the assignment will be due, at the next class meeting. 
7. If any required assignment is not turned in, the grade for this assignment will be zero.
8. Homework assignments that are returned with a one-day delay and without any proper justification are penalized. The penalty assigned corresponds to 5% decrease of the total grade. A homework assignment that has more that one-day delay and without proper justification is not accepted
9. If for any reason you are not able to return a hard copy of the homework assignment on time, you are allowed to send an electronic version attached with an e-mail.
