Academic honesty

Students are reminded of the university policy with regard to academic honesty. Submission of any assignment, program, or examination that is not the student's original work or contains portions of someone else's work without being clearly and specifically identified as such will automatically receive zero credit and may also result in an F grade in the course or in university disciplinary action, or both.

Quizzes, tests, and final

There will be a number of surprise quizzes, two tests, and final examination. Quizzes will consist of up to three simple questions each. Tests and final will require more elaborate solutions, like (for instance, but not limited to) problem solving, explanation of programming constructs, writing a program or a fragment of a program, analysis of a code, an essay on computer and programming concepts.

No make ups for missing tests and quizzes. The tests will cover the foregoing material. The final exam will be comprehensive.
