A test missed because of an excused absence can be made up either by taking a written make-up test or by increasing the weights of the other exams provided the instructor is notified in advance. Excused absences include illnesses verified by a physician or participation in an authorized university activity. Your score for the final will be obtained by averaging the scores on the 3 exams. You must take care of the proper paper work, including getting a waiver form from the registrar and obtaining the proper signatures. More details will be given out later.
Assignments are to be individual efforts.
You must work alone on all assignments, although you may discuss isolated details of assignments with others. You may also give and receive debugging help from other students, but only in moderation. I will probably use electronic tools to detect such plagiarism. When plagiarism is found, all students involved will be penalized, not just the student who does the copying. I will not be handing out an extensive style sheet for this course, but I will expect you to use meaningful names for identifiers and to format your programs consistently and nicely.
