CSC300: Assessment [9/14]

All students are expected to abide by DePaul's academic integrity policy which prohibits cheating and other misconduct in student coursework. Publicly sharing or posting online any prior or current materials from this course (including exam questions or answers), is considered to be providing unauthorized assistance prohibited by the policy. Both students who share/post and students who access or use such materials are considered to be cheating under the Policy and will be subject to sanctions for violations of Academic Integrity.

Grades will be determined as follows.

• 20% Online quizzes

  • Always due at 10am -- not a second later -- watch the clock

• 25% Programming assignments

  • To solve the weekly homeworks and quizzes, you may find it useful to consult external resources at first. That is acceptable for this class. It is not an academic integrity violation.
  • However, it is your responsibility to repeat each problem until you can do it yourself, starting from scratch, in a reasonable amount of time (about five minutes).
  • Once you have ensured that you can complete the problem using the IDE, you must then ensure that you can do it on paper. This is a crucial part of the homework!
  • If you cannot produce the solution, on paper, without assistance, then you have not understood it. You will not do well on exams or job interviews.
  • Programming assignments that do not compile will receive zero points. You must type in the homework and ensure that your code runs. If you cannot complete one problem of the homework, comment out your failed solution and restore the stub function that was provided. You can find the original assignments here.
  • Always due at 10am -- not a second later -- watch the clock
  • Make sure you submit to the correct folder -- no credit for other folders
  • Late homework accepted for partial credit -- in a separate folder
  • You can submit as many times as you like -- I will grade the last one

• 55% Exams

  • On exams, you must work alone, without any external resources.
  • Exams will be given on paper. You will be asked to write code on paper.
  • Students in section 511 must register with a proctor for both exams. Students that require special accommodations for exams must also register ahead of time. See here.
  • Exams will be given in person. There are no online exams. You must appear physically in front of a proctor (either the instructor or someone else, as described in the policy linked above.)

You must pass the final exam in order to pass the course.
