Policies

No cheating - The work you submit to be graded must be your own. Unless it is expressly stated otherwise, out of class assignments (labs, projects, homework) should be done individually. Assignments can be discussed with other students, TAs, or instructors at a high level (verbally, whiteboard or paper, examples), but sharing and reusing written code or finished answers is prohibited. Exams and quizzes must be done individually with no sharing or discussion of solutions.

No late assignments - Assignments submitted after the due date will not receive credit. Please plan accordingly. 

No rescheduling exams - Please check the syllabus early, and make certain that you will be able to be there at the required time and place. As a professional student, the only conflict with a priority matching a scheduled exam is another scheduled exam in another class.

Medical emergencies - If there is a medical emergency, tragedy or sudden hardship, you will need to provide written confirmation in order to have consideration for an exception to any grading schedules.
