Course Websitewww.ryannedolan.info/teaching/cs4520 TextbookGradingThis is largely a project-based class. There will also be a midterm and final. All projects will be detailed on the course website. I'll announce them in class. You are allowed to collaborate with your peers on all assignments, but your code must be your own. In other words, I encourage you to share resources and techniques, but copying without citation is considered CHEATING and will get you a failing grade and possibly disciplinary actions. If you copy-paste code snippets from a friend, website, textbook, or other reference, you must cite the original author with in-line comments. At least a majority of the code you submit should be original. DocumentationAll submitted code must be well-organized and documented. Furthermore, your programs should interactively document themselves. This includes:
GradingProject grades will be largely pass/fail. If your project meets the requirements, you will get full points. If it fails to satisfy a major requirement, it may be rejected entirely. Points will be deducted for minor problems. In order to receive full credit, the project must be submitted on time; however, late assignments will always be accepted for partial credit. In general, you will score more points by submitting a working project late than a non-functional project on-time. Assigned Projects
The following is subject to change, but will give you an idea of things to come:
Obligatory StatementsAcademic DishonestyAcademic integrity is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members of the academic community must be condent that each person's work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed, and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community regards breaches of the academic integrity rules as extremely serious matters. Sanctions for such a breach may include academic sanctions from the instructor, including failing the course for any violation, to disciplinary sanctions ranging from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, collaboration, or any other form of cheating, consult the course instructor. ADAIf you need accommodations because of a disability, if you have emergency medical information to share with me, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform me immediately. Please see me privately after class. To request academic accommodations (for example, a note-taker), students must also register with the Office of Disability Services, (http://disabilityservices.missouri.edu), S5 Memorial Union, 882-4696. It is the campus oce responsible for reviewing documentation provided by students requesting academic accommodations, and for accommodations planning in cooperation with students and instructors, as needed and consistent with course requirements.

Students who have questions concerning the quality of instruction in this class may address concerns to either the Departmental Chair or Divisional leader or Director of the Oce of Students Rights and Responsibilities (http://osrr.missouri.edu/). All students will have the opportunity to submit an anonymous evaluation of the instructor at the end of the course. |
