Events that are excused:
Events that are not excused:
We also do not want you to come to class ill.Make up work will
need to be explicitly negotiated. The objectives include: getting
students to class; not spreading illness; and making
sure students who are ill receive appropriate treatment.
The material in this course (including learning to come to class and
stay awake) is important. Excessive absences will impact your grade.
Documentation: Documentation will be required for the absence to be excused. It is YOUR responsibility to PLAN on getting the appropriate documentation.
Midterm and Finals: Make-up exams are only given for extraordinary circumstances (e.g., illness, death of family member). Students must consult with the instructor as soon as possible, preferably before the start of the exam. Examination dates are listed in the syllabus; be aware of them and plan accordingly.
Class Quizzes: There will not be any make-ups for missed class quizzes. If you have an excused absence, the quiz grade will be exempted. To cover extenuating circumstances, your lowest Class Quiz grade will be dropped.
Recitations: Make-ups will be given for missed recitations if you have an excused absence, please arrange with the lab instructor. To cover extenuating circumstances, your lowest recitation grade will be dropped.
Zybooks / Canvas: Online assignments hava due date - students who have not submitted work online by the due date receive no points for the assignment.
Programming assignments: Programs are submitted electronically. Details appear with the first assignment (also see the Checkin tab). Always check the progress page for due dates. The due date will include a day and time. The assignment will also specify a late acceptance period which will incur a 20% late penalty. After the late period, electronic submission is closed; students that have not submitted programs receive no points for the assignment.
Assignments will be submitted via the Checkin tab on the course web page unless stated otherwise.
Collaboration: We encourage you to talk with other students
about your assignments and questions, but make sure you do your
own homework. You may not copy another student's program or other work
(either with or without their knowledge), nor write code or other work
for them, nor can you copy solutions from the Internet. Please read
the departmental
policy statement regarding incompletes, academic integrity,
and class attendance. As a general rule of thumb, in any discussion
with your classmates or friends, assume that an instructor and/or a
GTA is observing your discussion. If that makes you uncomfortable,
you are probably crossing the line. If you really want to be sure,
post the discussion in a public place like Piazza (see
the Syllabus tab, and see if it is
flagged down as crossing the line.

CSU’s Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Stalking, and Retaliation policy designates faculty and employees of the University as “Responsible Employees.” This designation is consistent with federal law and guidance, and requires faculty to report information regarding students who may have experienced any form of sexual harassment, sexual misconduct, relationship violence, stalking or retaliation. This includes information shared with faculty in person, electronic communications or in class assignments. As “Responsible Employees,” faculty may refer students to campus resources (see below), together with informing the Office of Support and Safety Assessment to help ensure student safety and welfare.
