Course standards and policies

Policies are described at http://spaf.cerias.purdue.edu/cpolicy.html and Departmental Academic Integrity Policy. The departmental policies will be followed unless written documentation of exceptions is provided.
All work graded must be done individually and must be your own effort. You are allowed to interact with others to discuss and obtain help with basic concepts covered in lectures or the textbook and homework specification (but not solutions or hints to solutions). However, unless otherwise noted, work turned in needs to reflect your own efforts and knowledge. Sharing or copying solutions is unacceptable. You are also expected to take reasonable precautions to prevent others from using your work.
Penalties

A first instance of academic dishonesty will result in a zero for that assignment plus a letter grade deduction at the end of the semester.
A second instance of academic dishonesty will result in a course grade of F.
In accordance with the Purdue University Department of Computer Science Academic Integrity Policy, any instance of academic dishonesty on an exam, project, or assignment will be reported to the Dean of Students Office.

For a re-grade on a homework contact the TA responsible for the question within 10 days from the date when the assignment was officially returned. No re-grading after this period. A re-grade means that the entire assignment undergoes a re-grade.
All exams and quizzes are closed book and closed notes.

Emergency Planning

In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances beyond the instructor’s control. For information on changes see this website or the course Piazza site.
