Class Policies and Tips

• Attendance is essential to doing well in the course. The exams will focus primarily (but not exclusively) on material presented in the lectures and labs.
• If you are unable to attend a meeting, it is your responsibility to obtain the material from other students, class webpage, blackboard, or instructor.
• It is recommended to use a 3 hole binder with index mechanisms to organize class handouts and exams. Remember, the next course Data Structures in C++ is the continuation of CS2.

Exam. Policies

• There will be no makeup exams will be given
• Closed books, closed notes, and closed neighbors

Lab. Assignment Policies

• One problem will be given in the lab. If you complete the program before the lab class, you will get one points. 
• If you cannot finish during the lab hours, you may demonstrate it in the next lab. In this case, the maximum points you will get is 0.7.
• Two labs will be announced as CS2 Programming Contest. Winners will receive prizes as well as their photos will be posted on the instructor's web page, if they want.
• Open books, open notes, but closed neighbors.

Homework Policies

• Default compiler to be used is Borland C++ Builder 4. If you want to use another compiler, you must have a permission from the instructor.
• Homework assignments must be done individually. 
• Do not start from someone else's source code. The following cases, as examples, will be regarded as copies:
  • Just changing variable names of someone else's source code
  • Just changing the order of statements
  • Just changing the output design
• Must be submitted at the beginning of the class on the due date.
• Late submission penalty is 30%.
• No submission will be accepted beyond a week after the due date.
