Class Policy

1. Late assignments will suffer a 20% per day point reduction. You are 1 day late as soon as you miss the posted deadline for the assignment. All assignment deadlines will be posted well in advance. You are responsible for discovering any deadline adjustments that the instructor announces during class.
2. Homework assignments are pledged work. You are reminded of your obligations under the University Honor Code.
3. Please do not play/work with your computer when a lecture is in progress.
4. No food or drink in class since we will be in the computer lab most of the time. Your adherence to these rules of the classroom is greatly appreciated (and required).
