| Homework Submission and Late Policy |
| Unless specified otherwise for a particular assignment, the submission and late policies are as follows. Written homeworks should be submitted at the end of class, on paper. If you cannot submit your homework in class or are submitting late, you have two options: (1) submit it to the instructor in person or (2) submit it to the coaches in person. No other means of submission are acceptable (unless you have explicit permission from the instructor); please do not leave homework in the instructor's mailbox. (In exceptional cases, such as travel, you can contact the instructor to obtain permission to submit electronically.) Every student in the class has a total of 5 late days of homework (business days) that can be arbitrarily spread out among homework assignments without the need to provide a reason. This is intended as an unbureaucratic way of dealing with legitimate reasons for late submissions. You may use them for other reasons if you choose, but this does not mean you are entitled to 5 late days in addition to any legitimate ones. No submissions will ever be accepted more than 5 business days (one week) late. If a submission is late, and the 5 total late days are exceeded, we will not accept that submission. For counting late days, a solution counts as submitted on a certain day if it was submitted in one of the above stated ways by the deadline time specified for that assignment. If a solution is submitted in multiple parts on different days, then the official submission date is that of the last part that was submitted. |
| Extra Credit |
| No extra credit assignments will be given for this class. So, there is not need to ask. Try your best from the beginning! |
| Implicit Student Agreement |
|
All work must be that of the individual student. It is often
productive to discuss the course with other students.
However, if any portions of homework
assignments are found to be shared between two (or more)
students, zero credit will be given to all students concerned and all students
will be disciplined. This policy is in the interest of those students who
do their own work, which hopefully applies to all of you in this class.
Any student caught cheating will be given zero credit and will be disciplined. It is the student's responsibility to submit their assignments to the instructor on time. |
| Student Responsibilities |
|
During the semester you are responsible for completing the assigned
work.
We expect you to attend every class meeting. If you do happen to miss a session, you are responsible for finding out what material was covered and if any administrative announcements were made. You must do so BEFORE the next session (e.g., if there is an assignment given during the missed session, you are still responsible for completing it by the next week along with the other students). |
| Fairness |
| The instructor must treat all students equally and cannot give special treatment to any particular student. Therefore, please do not ask for special treatment from the instructor because of your circumstances. This may seem unfair to you because you believe that you have special circumstances. But the rule the instructor follows is that whatever is offered to you, must be offered to the entire class. |
