I will consider\u00a0<strong>5%<\/strong>\u00a0bonus marks for students&#8217; participation and class activities. Students are not allowed to use laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc in the class. All assignments are due at\u00a0<strong>09:00 am<\/strong>\u00a0on the due date. Late assignments will lose\u00a0<strong>10%<\/strong>\u00a0of the total points for each day they are late and they will not be accepted after\u00a0<strong>three<\/strong>\u00a0days. Students with disabilities should come and see me. Finally, all exams will be closed-book and there will be no make-up unless a medical report is provided.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Academic Integrity:<\/strong>\u00a0By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in SIUC\u2019s scholarly community in which everyone\u2019s academic work and behaviors are held to the highest standards of honesty. If we catch anyone cheating, we will take the maximum action possible against them, including reporting the matter to the appropriate university authorities. Please cooperate by doing your own work and not seeking inappropriate help from your classmates. You may, of course, discuss assignment solutions and assignments amongst yourselves, as long as that discussion does not lead to an exchange of solutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emergency Procedures:<\/strong>\u00a0SIUC is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for study and work. Because some health and safety circumstances are beyond our control, we ask that you become familiar with the SIUC Emergency Response Plan and Building Emergency Response Team (BERT) program. Emergency response information is available on posters in buildings on campus, available on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bert.siu.edu\">BERT&#8217;s website<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dps.siu.edu\">Department of Safety&#8217;s website<\/a>\u00a0(disaster drop down) and in Emergency Response Guideline pamphlet. Know how to respond to each type of emergency. Instructors will provide guidance and direction to students in the classroom in the event of an emergency affecting your location. It is important that you follow these instructions and stay with your instructor during an evacuation or sheltering emergency. The Building Emergency Response Team will provide assistance to your instructor in evacuating the building or sheltering within the facility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CS 202: Introduction to Computer Science Department of Computer ScienceSouthern Illinois UniversityCarbondale, IL 62901 Information&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;^ Lectures&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;^ Assignments&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;^ Links&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;^ Policies&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-382","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/101"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":389,"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/382\/revisions\/389"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faculty.eng.fau.edu\/nojoumian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
