Programming Assignments:
The Programming Assignments will be in Java. The grading of the Programming Assignments is a combination of completeness (all specifications are covered), correctness of results, and style. All programming assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date. Submissions will be made via Canvas. I do not allow late work to be submitted unless there is prior written approval by me based on special circumstances. If your work is not on Canvas, it will not be graded.

University Policies:  

Access:
The University of Colorado Denver is committed to providing reasonable accommodation and access to programs and services to persons with disabilities. Students with disabilities who want academic accommodations must register with Disability Resources and Services (DRS) in North Classroom 2514, Phone: 303-556-3450, TTY: 303-556- 4766, Fax: 303-556-4771. I will be happy to provide approved accommodations, once you provide me with a copy of DRS’s letter. [DRS requires students to provide current and adequate documentation of their disabilities. Once a student has registered with DRS, DRS will review the documentation and assess the student’s request for academic accommodations in light of the documentation. DRS will then provide the student with a letter indicating which academic accommodations have been approved.]

Academic Honesty and Student Code of Conduct:
Students are expected to know, understand, and comply with the ethical standards of the university, including rules against plagiarism, cheating, fabrication and falsification, multiple submissions, misuse of academic materials, and complicity in academic dishonesty.
