STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Participation:

You are expected to participate in each class meeting and will be tested on text and lecture content. It is your responsibility to notify me if you miss the daily roll call and to get the lecture notes from a classmate. Bring your textbook, a pencil, notepaper and one of your class diskettes to each class meeting. The maintenance and security of your textbook and storage media is your responsibility. The loss of these items does not exempt a student from his or her class/homework responsibilities.

Interruptions:

Portable electronic devices such as cellular phones, pagers, PDA's, media players, etc. must not be used during class. If you need to be reached at the college, use the following numbers:

• Daytime classes: Dean of Students 772-462-4706
• Night classes: Campus Security 772-462-4755

Students are not required to purchase compiler software for this course. Free compiler software is available as described on the Compiler page of the course web site.

Make-up Work:

No more than 1 exam or project can be made up without loss of points. The make-up item might be more difficult than the original. You must schedule and complete the make-up no later than 7 days after the original. The final exam cannot be made-up without an Incomplete (I) grade. Make-up exams will be given in the on the same campus as the class meets. You must take a photo ID (preferably a license) to the Assessment Center to take a test.

Grading:

Most importantly: All assignments must be completed to the satisfaction of your instructor prior to the final exam period for you to pass the course. You can earn a total of 300 points in this class. Each exam (including the final exam) will be worth 100 points.

One bonus point will be awarded for each assignment that you complete to your instructor's satisfaction and submit on time. These will be added to your overall test score total. These bonus points can help to bolster weak exam scores.
