This course will consist of lecture presentations and class discussion. Class participation is strongly encouraged. Hands-on computer laboratory exercises will be assigned to support and complement the material discussed in the classroom.

There will be 3 exams along with quizzes, homework assignments, and laboratory exercises.

Your grade will be calculated on a point accumulation basis. If you earn 90% of the possible points, you will get an A. Earning 80% gets you a B, 70% is a C, 60% is a D, and below 60% is an F. Points will be distributed as follows:

• 3 exams 100 points each
• Unannounced quizzes (as needed) 10 points each
• Laboratory exercises (approx. 10) 20 - 50 points each

Class attendance and participation may be used to determine borderline grades.

Attendance will be taken at the beginning of every class. Anyone who is not present when attendance is taken will be marked as being absent. Attendance is required. While no points are deducted for absences, you will miss the points for any quiz given or assignment you fail to turn in on a day you are absent. If you must be absent, check with me about any assignment that may be due on the day you return. If you miss a day when an assignment is to be turned in, it is your responsibility to turn it in ahead of time.

Make-up exams will be given ONLY when arrangements have been made PRIOR to the missed exam. No make-up quizzes are given. Assignments may be accepted after the due date but 5 points will be deducted per day after the due date has passed.

Students are not allowed to share code with other students, past or present, and are not allowed to use code that is found online. The only sources of code that are acceptable to be turn on as your own is code that you created and wrote yourself or code that was given to you by the instructor.

All parties (those who are copying and those who are copied from) who are found to have submitted work that is deemed by the instructor to be too similar to other students work or code that is available online will be seen as having been academically dishonest. TCC's Academic Dishonesty policy follows:

Academic dishonesty (cheating) is defined as the deception of others about one's own work or about the work of another. Academic dishonesty or misconduct is not condoned or tolerated at campuses within the Tulsa Community College system. Tulsa Community College adopts a policy delegating certain forms of authority for disciplinary action to the faculty. Such disciplinary actions delegated to the faculty include, but are not limited to, the dismissal of disrespectful or disorderly students from classes. In the case of academic dishonesty a faculty member may:

• Require the student to redo an assignment or test, or require the student to complete a substitute assignment or test
• Record a "zero" for the assignment or test in question Recommend to the student that the student withdraw from the class, or administratively withdraw the student from the class
• Record a grade of "F" for the student at the end of the semester. Faculty may request that disciplinary action be taken against a student at the administrative level by submitting such a request to the Dean of Student Services.

It is the policy and practice of Tulsa Community College to create inclusive learning environments. Accommodations for qualifying students in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act are available. To request accommodations, contact the Education Access Center (EAC) at eac@tulsacc.edu or call (918) 595-7115 (Voice). Deaf and hard of hearing students may text (918) 809-1864.

Occasionally, changes to the syllabus may be necessary. Students will be notified of any changes to the syllabus in writing.
