Attendance

• Attendance will not be taken. However, the class sessions are an integral part of the course. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what was covered in class and to catch up.
• In-class quizzes (except for the scheduled midterms) will not be announced ahead of time. No make-ups for quizzes will be given.
• In-class use of technology (e.g. Laptops, Palm Pilots, Cell Phones, iPods, iPads) is permitted exclusively for taking class notes.
• If you are going to be absent on the day of an examination, you must provide a University-approved excuse for your absence before the day of the examination.

Late Submissions of projects and homeworks:

• 10% penalty will be assessed for each late day. The assignment will not be graded (you will receive zero) if the assignment is more than 3 days late. Note that a weekend counts just as regular days. For example, if an assignment is due Friday and is turned in Monday, it is 3 days late. Note that if your assignment is even one second late, it is considered late, and corresponding penalties will be applied.
  
• If you are sick and have appropriate documentation, always let me know as soon as you get sick. It will be to your disadvantage to tell me after the fact that you were sick; you may not be excused from the regular due date.
• Note that scheduled downtimes of odin or other CS systems and network are not an excuse for late submissions.

Academic Honesty

• All academic work must meet the standards contained in "A Culture of Honesty". Students are responsible for informing themselves about those standards before performing any academic work. The link to more detailed information about academic honesty can be found at http://www.uga.edu/honesty/ahpd/culture_honesty.htm
• The Computer Science Department Honesty Policy also applies.
• You are allowed to discuss the individual programming assignments with other students as long as the discussion is very general. However, if you have any doubts about what you are doing, ask the instructor. All cheating cases will be directly handed over to the Academic Honesty Department.
• Note that copying materials from the Web is a violation of academic honesty. Copying anything from any Web site is forbidden and will be considered exactly as cheating on assignment. Furthermore, accepting code written by other students in previous or current offerings of this class will be considered a violation of the academic honesty policy.

• Unfamiliarity with the rules and regulations of the academic honesty environment at the University of Georgia will not be grounds for leniency.

Withdrawals and Incompletes:

You may drop the class during the drop/add period without an annotation ending up on your transcript. Thereafter until the drop day, you may drop the class with an annotation. An incomplete will only be considered in a case where there is a documented medical evidence and you are making satisfactory progress in the course. If you have a medical emergency and are not making satisfactory progress after the drop date, you may be offered a late withdrawal; this is up to the instructor.

The course syllabus is a general plan for the course; deviations announced to the class by the instructor may be necessary.
