| Comments: |
- This course involves assignments and projects that will require a
considerable amount of time, outside of the scheduled class times, to
be spent on designing, debugging, testing, and running actual
programs.
- Assignments are due at 11:59pm on the specified day. NO LATE
ASSIGNMENTS will be accepted.
- Lab exams will be given in the labs throughout the term.
A grade of 0 will be given for missed quizzes without a valid
reason (e.g. medical or family problems). The schedule of lab exams
can be found on the course web page.
- Please refer to the course web page on how submitted programs will be
graded.
- Check the course web page frequently for announcements, assignments,
and other useful information.
- Although discussing assignments with other class members is
acceptable, and even encouraged, and often leads to new insights,
copying of assignments is a very serious offence. See the University
of Lethbridge Calendar Part 4. Submitted solutions must be
your own work.
-
All students in this class must be in compliance with the University's COVID policies, including the mask and vaccine mandate. This means that all students attending an in-class session currently are required
- to wear masks covering their nose and mouth for the duration of the class, as well as when gathering outside the classroom prior to entry and when leaving the classroom at the end of the session;
- to be free of all symptoms listed on the University Health Check website;
- to be double-vaccinated;
- have reported their current vaccine/symptom status on the University's COVID app.
There is a zero-tolerance policy in effect with regard to these policies, and any subsequent amendments or additions. Violations will be reported, are subject to penalties under the non-academic offences policy, and may result in a cancellation, or rescheduling, of individual classes or a change in the method of delivery.
-
In the event that the instructor cannot attend class in person due to
the University's COVID policies, recorded lectures will be made
available and online office hours will be held. Students will be
notified by e-mail.

| Adjustment for the strike: |
-
Of the 10 assignments, only the highest 8 grades are used in the
computation of your grades.
-
Of the 3 lab exams, only the highest 2 grades are used in the computation
of your grades.
-
Project expectation has now been reduced from two problem sets to one problem
set.
