if you already know it) into the course.

Policy:
Complete all reading assignments before coming to
class. Written homework assignments are
due at the beginning of class on the due date.
You are responsible for announcements made in class, even if you are absent. There are no makeups
for the in class tests. If you miss a test due to a documented illness or
emergency of a serious nature, then the average of your grades on the other
tests and the final will replace the missing test grade.
Please read the academic honesty policy on the back. The homework in this course counts for 25% of
the grade, and some comments about collaboration are in order. It is expected, permitted, and encouraged for
students to form study groups, discuss course material, and help each other to
master the course material. It is also
permitted to discuss homework problems.
However, always follow these rules: (1) each person writes up his own
homework solutions; (2) when you turn in written homework, you are implying
that you wrote the solution by yourself, that you understand what you present as your own
work, and that you can explain it if asked to do so; (3) do not loan or show
your written work to anyone else; (4) do not ask to see another student's
written homework. Refer to CS Dept
Policy on reverse.

Departmental Policy Statement
Academic Honesty
The Computer Science Department recognizes honesty and integrity
as necessary to the academic function of the University. Therefore all students are reminded that the
CS faculty requires compliance with the conduct regulations found in the
Two common forms of academic dishonesty which students
should guard against are:
· copying
from another student's test paper or laboratory report, or allowing another
student to copy from you;
· fabricating data (computer, statistical) for an assignment.
Three steps to help prevent academic dishonesty are:
· Familiarize
yourself with the regulations.
· If
you have any doubt about what constitutes academic dishonesty, ask your
instructor or a staff member at the Office of Judicial Programs.
· Refuse
to assist students who want to cheat.
All faculty, staff and students are encouraged to report all
suspected cases of academic dishonesty. All
cases of suspected academic dishonesty (cheating) will be referred to the
Office of Academic Affairs. For further
