Grading Policies
NO extra credit will be permitted in this course; grades are based solely on the graded assignments.
While there is no penalty for late submissions, most programming assignments will build on each other and failing to complete one assignment on time will have a negative impact on your ability to complete subsequent assignments successfully.
Plagiarism will be penalized with an F for the COURSE, immediate deactivation of your access to the course web site, and reporting of the violation to the Educational Technology Department.
