Homework, quizzes, and tests are weighed according to the tables on the right,
above. Use ~cs157/bin/grade to see all of your scores, or
~cs157/bin/grade HW3 for detailed feedback on homework #3.
Quizzes and tests are curved, homework is not, so, for example, you will see
both Q2 (quiz #2) and a Q2-curved (quiz #2, curved) versions. There is
no extra credit.
The GTA grades everything. If you don’t like your score, talk with him first, then to the instructor if you still disagree.
Homework is submitted & graded online, with ~cs157/bin/checkin
and ~cs157/bin/grade. Quizzes are returned in class. Final
exams are not returned, but you can schedule time with the instructor to
review them.
If illness prevents you from doing homework or taking a quiz/test, get a note from Hartshorn, a doctor, an emergency room, etc. It is not good enough to diagnose yourself. Similarly, if you suffer a family tragedy, your apartment catches fire, you’re called up for military service, etc., then provide documentation for the event. Concerts and ski trips are not unexpected.
Don’t distract the students. I can’t force you to learn, but you must allow others to do so. This means:
Exams and projects will be done individually and grades assigned on an individual basis. Further, students not already familiar with the CSU Honor Pledge should review this clear and simple pledge and always adhere to it.
Policies on cheating, plagiarism, incomplete grades, attendance, discrimination, sexual harassment, and student grievances are described in the Student Information Guide. All other matters follow the policies set in the current CSU General Catalog, and in the CS Dept. Code of Conduct.
You may not copy or use, all or in part, someone else’s work. You may not give your work, all or in part, to someone else for any reason. It is your responsibility to keep your work private from all others. You may not collaborate to produce one product turned in multiple times. You may not use work done in a previous semester by someone else.
You MAY discuss assignments but the work you turn in must be your own. You have crossed the line if you start comparing someone else’s work to your own (or vice versa). You have crossed the line if you cannot explain/understand the work you submit. “I copied it from the internet” is not an explanation.
