Graded Work:

Each graded item grade is reduced by 20% for each day past due date. Late homework
assignment grade is zero as soon as the solution is made available in class or posted on
MyASU.
The exception to this is quizzes. After the deadline the quiz score is zero.
Appeals:

To file an appeal against a grade you must

Make the appeal via eMail to me within a week of getting the grade.
In my grading I explain why points where deducted, so in your appeal you must show
where you did address the issue for which I deducted points.
The subject line for your appeal should start with the word APPEAL (all uppercase)
followed by the name of the assigned work The name of the assigned work is the name
in Blackboard. Some examples are
o APPEAL Abbot Quiz
o APPEAL Midterm
o APPEAL Graduate Term Paper
An exception to the week after getting the grade deadline is with quizzes. As Blackboard
grades the quizzes automatically, I always sweep through the quiz grades after the deadline
and correct any grading anomalies based on Blackboards automatic grading approach. After I
have sent out the announce that I have swept through the grades you have one week from that
date to file an appeal. Any appeal for quizzes submitted prior to this announcement are deleted
as you may be appealing against an anomaly I already plan to correct.
Attendance policy: Participation is an integral part of the course and 100% attendance is assumed.
Absences should be communicated with the instructor prior to the planned absence. All students are
responsible for:
coming up to speed on the material covered whilst absent
coming up to speed on any graded work given whilst absent. Extension are not given just
because you missed a class
Graded Item submission:
Homework assignments, online quizzes, programming assignment must be submitted to the
Assignment section on MyASU (BlackBoard). Submitting to other location such as Digital Dropbox or
my email without prior approval does not count as a submission. Any work submitted other than
through the Assignment section on MyASU (BlackBoard) without prior approval will be considered not
submitted and you will get a zero for the graded item.
Examinations may not be taken separately except in special situations with prior arrangement at
least two business days in advance.

Software:
To create UML diagrams you must use either Visio or VioletUML. If you wish to use some other
software package you must get prior approval from me to ensure I can support it. Hand drawn
diagram for will not be accepted. If you do submit had drawn diagram, or diagram from some other
package I have not approved then you will get a 0 for the assignment or the exam question.
You will also need to create text documents and spreadsheets for the assignments. The only approved
software for these kind of documents are:

Withdrawals: Ceasing attendance does not automatically drop you from the course. IF YOU ARE STILL
ON THE CLASS ROLL AT THE END OF THE SEMESTER, YOU WILL RECEIVE 0's FOR ANY WORK
NOT COMPLETED AND WILL BE GRADED ACCORDINGLY.
Academic Integrity and Ethics: The Universitys Code of Academic Integrity
(http://www.asu.edu/studentlife/judicial/integrity.html and http://www.asu.edu/studentlife/judicial) states that
students shall not represent the work of others as their own. The Computer Science and Engineering
department requires all students to adhere to ASUs policy on Academic Honesty. This policy will be
applied to all work submitted for grade, including term paper, exams, and homework assignments. The
minimum penalty for submitting work that is not your own is an E grade. Note: You are encouraged to
discuss class assignments with your instructor, teaching assistant, and fellow students. However, any work
submitted as part of course work must be your own work. I.e., final work submitted by student must
represent his/her own individual efforts unless stated otherwise by the instructor. Fulton School of
Engineering policy states that any act of cheating will result in receiving an XE for the course indicating
failure due to disciplinary action.
