Class Policies

• Attendance is essential to doing well in the course. If you are unable to attend a meeting, it is your responsibility to obtain the material from other students, class webpage, blackboard, or instructor.
• Instructor is providing a web-server account with JRun Application Server and MySQL. The expiration of the account will be decided by the instructor after the class.
• Even though the instructor tries to make the server run all the time, it may be down for some periods due to scheduled maintenances or internal/external problems. Therefore, it is stronly recommended to set up a localhost JRun server and MySQL server on your desktop at home. Develop programs on your desktop then upload to the Instructor's server.
• Backup your files on the Instructor's server.

• All the deliverables submitted to the instructor may be reused/modified/upgraded by another students and/or instructor later on for educational purposes only. The instructor will make sure to give appropriate credits and acknowledgements to the previous students.  

Final Exam. Policies

• There will be no makeup final exam will be given.
• Closed books, closed notes, and closed neighbors.
• The final exam will focus primarily (but not exclusively) on material presented in the lectures.

Labs on Campus

• M215: JBuilder 3, JRun, and JRun Studio
• S115, M138, E105, ...

Programming Homework Policies

• You may use any Java IDE tools. However, you must provide a way for the instructor to test your program. Instructor has JBuilder 4.
• Homework assignments must be done individually. 
• DO NOT COPY THE WORK OF OTHERS.
• 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.
• Read the submission instruction of each homework carefully.

Group Project Policies

• Team Size: maximum two
• Must design a real-world project. The instructor will give you some topics. The project requirement specification must be approved by the instructor.
• Must be deployed on a real web-server on the Internet such as instructor's server. (There may be some exceptions, if you select some special projects suggested by the instructor.)
• Must follow Software Engineering methodologies. All the documents should be published on the webserver. Students are supposed to submit the source codes on the server too. 
• Grades will be based on completeness, consistency, reliability, robustness, reusability, user-friendliness, usability, creativity, documentation, teamwork, scientific finding, educational value, new technologies used, etc.
• Also each team member will evaluate another members in the team.
• Late demo penalty: 30% off

Policy on Academic Misconduct

Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. DO NOT COPY THE WORK OF OTHERS.Failure to observe this will result in zero point for the assignment. Cheating during exams is also a very serious academic offense. Both cases will be handled in accordance with University Policy.
