Responsibilities Track Canvas, MS Teams and the schedule page of the course website daily. You are required to attend all lectures. Make sure that you refresh the web pages. Ensure that you complete the quizzes and the homework assignments. Use of any laptops, handheld devices or phones is not permitted. Exception for note-taking devices may be requested for special cases. The student must submit a pledge to use them only in the last row and use them only for taking class notes (which you need to submit every two weeks). Each instance of the unauthorized use of such devices may result in a penalty determined by the professor. Policies for exams, quizzes and assignments: The dates for all exams, excluding quizzes, will be announced. All quizzes will be online. Arrangements for the Midterm and the comprehensive Final will be specified. You must have a MS Windows/Mac PC with a webcam that will support the CSU specified proctoring software used in the class, if specified. There will be no make-up exams for missed quizzes, mid-term, and finals. If you have an officially required university event or family or medical emergency that prevents you from attending the midterm, or the final, let us know as soon as possible and provide verifiable documentation to reschedule. You must take your exams as scheduled for your specific section. Penalty for taking the wrong exam is 100%. You must pass separately in the tests (i.e. midterm plus final) and the rest of the course elements to pass the class. There will be several on-line long and short quizzes. You must bring your iClicker everyday. You must register your iClicker on Canvas before the beginning of the second week of classes. Unregistered iCliker scores after that will not be taken into account. You must be in the class for the full lecture for any possible in-class quizzes. Penalty for showing up late just for the quiz or leaving soon after is 100%. No collaboration of any type among students is permitted for on-line quizzes. Late on-line quiz submissions are not accepted. All assignments are due at 11 PM on the due date and will be submitted using Canvas. When submitting a tar/zip file, you need to check its integrity by downloading it. There is a late penalty of 20% for up to a maximum of 24 hours. Submissions after that are not accepted. Programming assignments are posted about 7-14 days prior to the deadline, written assignments will allow 6-7 days. All assignments will be posted on Canvas. Submissions may be checked for overlap using automated tools or manually for excessive overlap among the students or with external sources and a suitable penalty may be imposed. Conduct This course will adhere to the CSU Academic Integrity Policy as found in the General Catalog and the Student Conduct Code. At a minimum, violations will result in a grading penalty in this course and a report to the Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct Services. We use manual, automated as well as analytical methods to detect violations. SDC Students The course policies for the SDC (Student Disability Center) students are based on the policies of the College of Natural Sciences. The deadlines applicable to regular students apply to SDC students as well. The instructor may permit a student to take midterm/final at the SDC.
