Assignments and Expectations: There will be a programming assignment on most weeks. Typical assignments will require 3-6 hours to complete. Many of the assignments will build on previous assignments, so it is important that you don't skip any assignment. Limted extra credit will be awarded for extending programs beyond what is required in the assignment.

There are a number of expectations that apply to any programs turned in:

Late Assignments: Assignments are due at the beginning of lecture. Late assignments will not be accepted without a very good excuse. All programs that are turned in must run. Programs that run, but only meet some of the assignment's criteria, will earn partial credit. Turning in a program that does not run will not earn any credit.

Exams: There will be two midterms and a comprehensive final.

Academic Integrity and Honesty As a student enrolled at the University of Idaho, you are bound by the UI Student Code of Conduct. Article II, Section A.1 of this code addresses academic honesty.

Academic honesty and integrity are core values at a university and the faculty finds that even one incident of academic dishonesty may merit expulsion. Instructors and students are jointly responsible for maintaining academic standards and integrity in university courses. In addition to any disciplinary sanctions imposed under the Code, additional consequences for academic dishonesty may be imposed by the course instructor, including issuing a grade of “F” in the course. Any grade issued by the course instructor, whether as a result of academic dishonesty or not, constitutes an academic evaluation and is not disciplinary action.

All student should review the full Student Code of Conduct, the discussion of Academic Integrity and additional student resources from the Dean of Student’s website.

The University of Idaho bans firearms from its property with only limited exceptions. One exception applies to persons who hold a valid Idaho enhanced concealed carry license, provided those firearms remain concealed at all times. If an enhanced concealed carry license holder’s firearm is displayed, other than in necessary self-defense, it is a violation of University policy. Please contact local law enforcement (call 911) to report firearms on University property. University of Idaho leadership remains committed to maintaining a safe work, living and learning environment on campus. We will not tolerate any threatening use of firearms or any other weapons. While authorized license holders may have familiarity and be at ease carrying a loaded firearm, we ask that they be aware that many people are not familiar with handguns and are uncomfortable in their presence.
