This course counts toward the required 63 LAS hours and is writing enhanced.
Successful completion of CS 310.
Class attendance is your responsibility. I understand that you will occasionally have to miss class. However, whether you are in class or not you will be responsible for all deadlines and all materials taught or assigned. Graded activities such as tests, quizzes, labs, in-class projects, etc. . . may not be made up. Exceptions to this will be at my discretion and must be arranged with me before the missed class. Be aware that in class I will cover significant amounts of material that is not covered by the textbooks.
Your final grade will be determined using the following scale:
Anyone submitting work to be graded which, in my estimation and beyond reasonable doubt, is not his or her work alone will receive an F. No group work is allowed unless I explicitly indicate that you can work in groups. When you do hand in group work, you must always indicate that it is group work and who was involved in it. You are welcome to discuss assignments with anyone, but all work you hand in must be your own. For example, you may use the WWW to find information about a topic or to find programs in the languages that we study, but any written assignment or program that you hand in MUST BE YOUR OWN WORK. Corrolary: If you provide work you produce to others, you are aiding and abetting their dishonesty and thus being dishonest yourself. Providing your work to others or giving answers to others is not acceptable.
If you have a disability for which you are or may be requesting an accommodation, you are encouraged to contact both your instructor and the Disability Services office (x4478) as soon as possible.
As an instructor, I have a mandatory reporting responsibility under Title IX federal statutes. I am required to share information with Truman administration officials regarding sexual misconduct or information about a crime that may have occurred on Truman's campus. Students may speak to someone confidentially by contacting University Counseling Services at 660-785-4014 during business hours, or 660-665-5621 for after-hours crisis counseling.
