Announcements

Disability. Students with disabilities or other special needs should contact me to make whatever alternative arrangements are necessary.

Cheating. The class policy on cheating is that it is not tolerated. Students caught cheating will be subject to university policies, and the result may be flunking the class as well as a letter being sent to university authorities for further action. UCSC policy

Integrity of student work. Each student is expected to complete his or her own original work for this course and to turn it in by the due date. Students may talk to one another about general approaches to various exercises, and receive general assistance from the instructor, TA, tutors, and lab assistants. However, the details of the assignment are to be completed independently, thereby reflecting the individual accomplishments of the student.

Attendance. Lab attendance is mandatory. Even if the lab assignment is easy or if you do it outside of lab, you are still expected to attend lab and use your time there productively.

Subject to change. All students are responsible for monitoring the class web page for class policies, assignments, changes, records, etc.

Exceptions. Teaching assistants and tutors do not have the authority to modify class policies or to grant exceptions.

Privacy. Some student information is online. See the privacy policy.

Page for tutors and graders only. (This page is for reporting grades, and requires a password.)

Help

For the class pages for previous courses, see my home page.

If you have trouble checking into a lab, it may be that you are not on the class list, or you are enrolled in a different section. You can use the Register page to add yourself to the class list. Changing sections must be done by email if you are already enrolled in a section. If you are waiting for a change to be effective, you can use one of your "visits".

Lab time is measured based on actual time the student is checked in at a "usual lab" or "visit". Time is not calculated for homework check ins.
