Classroom Policy and Academic Honesty These outline general school and classroom policy insofar as this class is concerned.
- Academic Honesty Document All students enrolled in CS must read and understand this document. You are required to print, sign, and date it and turn in a hard copy to your instructor during the first week of class. You submit this by putting it under my office door, which is in the ECS suite. In this process, you learn the location of my office. This is an assignment you can find on Canvas.

What is a Saysquat? This is a student who sits in class and doesn't say squat. I discourage this by various nefarious means. See the disquisition on my current classes page.
Pods There will be in-class activities that done to gain an active command of the material. Students sit in a "pod" with some classmates and can share ideas with them when doing these daily assignments. Pod assignments will be made the first day of class; they will be shown on the course's main page. Pods were assigned via some sort of randomized procedure such as picking names out of a cup or the running of a randomizer program. They are usually of size 3 or 4, and are numbered 0-4. Adders placed in the lowest-numbered pod with three students.
Class Participation Factor Missing class unexcused is not
a good move. All begin with a factor of 1.00; an unexcused absence triggers
this code: factor -= .01. The final average is multiplied by this
factor when reckoning final grades. Students two mulligans each semester. If
you are over 25 min late, that's an unexcused absence. Two tardies are treated
as one unexcused absence in this policy. This policy is an implementation
of standrd school policy. You should note that ten or more absences
in a semester can spell real trouble.
Google Calendar See the The Google Calendar Page for complete instructions. This is the best way to set an appointment.
