Evaluation Scheme
Computer Labs
The required computing platforms and programming environments are available in the TEL building. We shall provide TA help in the TEL building between certain hours which will be posted. Please look for the TA workstations in those two labs. Please note that general help on using the labs will be provided through a Help Desk in PS/2.
Class Format
The lectures will emphasize the most important part of the material. Although this material is available on this Web site it is important to know which topics are expected to be known well for the test/exam. Please ask relevant questions during class, or individual questions at the end of class. Questions which require a more detailed answer will be addressed during my office hours.
Late Policy
You are given one (1) grace day to use during the term: once, and once only, you may submit an assignment up to 24 hours late with no penalty. The grace day will be applied to the first late assignment; if you submit two assignments late, the second one will not even be marked. In exceptional cases, late assignments may be accepted provided that medical or other acceptable documentation is presented. When going to see a doctor please use the form downloaded from: http://www.registrar.yorku.ca/services/petitions/forms.htm#6
In the case of a missed midterm its weight will be added to the weight of the final exam. This system will not apply to assignments, which must be all submitted. If you miss the final exam for medical reasons you have to apply for deferred final examination within a week from the exam date.
Academic Honesty
Assignments are supposed to be produced through independent work. You may talk to your classmates but the final form of the assignments must be your own. The penalty for electronically copied assignments is a zero plus the possibility of a disciplinary action.
