The instructor does not curve grades. Documents and readings are due on the date specified.
Late work is penalized.
Attendance is the concern of the student. When you enter the class you are committed for the duration, and you are expected to arrive before class begins. When seeking assistance from the instructor on projects and homework, you will be expected to provide evidence that you have tried alternatives and explored the problem. Be ready to ask and answer specific questions about your efforts. The major assumption the instructor makes in this course is that you can write complete programs in a high level language.
