- Solutions:
Your Responsibilities: - Be a good human being!
- Be courteous to your classmates.
- Treat each other (and me) with respect and kindness.
- Take care of the classroom and the equipment contained within.
- Come to class!
- "80% of success is showing up."
- If you're not here, you can't learn, and you can't work with your classmates.
- If you are absent or late, have a note ready.
- A large portion of this class involves working in groups, if you're not here, you are letting your group down.
- If you are absent for a test, you must have a note from your parent/guardian.
- Do the work!
- There will be homework/classwork assignments and large projects.
- All assignments will be submitted online.
- *work assignments
- There may not be nightly homework assignments.
- Some of these will be pair assignments, be prepared to work with others.
- Solutions to these assignments will always be posted afterwards.
- This may vary, but will generally be 1-3 days after the assignment is due.
- Once a solution is posted, you cannot receive late credit.
- You cannot submit all missed work at the end of the semester or marking period and expect to get credit.
- Projects
- There will be 2-3 large projects during the semester.
- They may be group projects.
- You will have time in class to work on them, but they will require outside work as well.
- Projects will count the same as tests.
- Tests
- There will be 4-6 exams during the seamster, as well as a final exam.
- Tests will be done on paper, with no electronic assistance.
- The class day before a test will have review time, but you must come armed with questions!
- CS tests are commonly on Friday, unless the school schedule changes.
- My goal is to not overburden you with work, but that means that missing an assignment in this class will have a larger impact on your grade than missing an assignment in a class with nightly homework (because that's how math works).
- Submit your own work. Anyone caught plagiarizing will receive a 0 for the assignment along with further disciplinary action as required by school policy (Check out How to compsci at stuy if you need a refresher on academic dishonesty) .
- The only way to fail this class is to violate the previous 2 points (I cannot give poor grades for not being a good human being, but there are much larger repercussions for failing in that area that will last much longer than a high school class grade).
My Responsibilities: - Be a good human being.
- Create a class environment that is welcoming and conducive to learning.
- Provide meaningful (read: not busywork) assignments.
- Teach you something about computer science, programming, computational thinking and other cool stuff.
