The De Anza College Academity Integrity requirements are given at
http://www.deanza.edu/policies/academic_integrity.html

Some specific requirements for this course, that can help you meet the College Academic Integrity requirements, include:

Do your own work

During an examination do not look at anyone else's work, do not look at any soures of information that are not specifically allowed for that examination, and do not communicate with others in any way.

Assignments must by your own work to the following extent:

1. Do not post your work on-line where others can copy it.
2. Do not copy anyone else's machine readable file.
3. Do not key anyone else's listing into the machine.
4. If someone else copies from your work, either by your permission or by other means, you will also receive the penalty for copying.
   Be careful not to allow anyone to make a copy of your work.
5. DO LOOK AT OTHER STUDENTS WORK AND SHOW THEM YOURS.
6. As long as you are not copying other's work, discussion and exchange of ideas is strongly encouraged.
7. Be cooperative; give and receive suggestions.

Specific rules on what copying is allowed:

1. No copying is allowed, except what is specified here.
2. If someone else copies from your work, either by your permission or by other means, you will also receive the penalty for copying.
   Be careful not to allow anyone to make a copy of your work.
3. You are NOT allowed to develop the code jointly with someone else.
4. You are permitted to copy code from the required text book, or from an on-line reference site
   Make a comment in your code telling what lines of code were copied, and the edition and page in the book or the URL of the web page, so I can see where it came from.

Academic Integrity is required. Violation of any of the above requirements, or any other academic integrity violation, will usually result in a grade of 2 being given for the work involved. I must emphasize that students do occasionally get a grade of 2 for an assignment; this happend when two students work together and make copies of the same work, or when a student copies the work of previous students.

Computer Information Systems laboratory

Unfortunately the campus is closed, including the CIS laboratory.

Administrative actions:

These are your responsibility.
You must meet any deadlines specified in the Schedule of Classes. If you add the course, you must get an add code from me, and submit it to the administration. If you want a credit/no credit grade, you must file the form with the administration. If you are unable to complete the class, it is your responsibility to complete the drop processing. If you miss an examination, or are more than one week late in your assignments, you might or might not be dropped by me. Notify me if you are more than one week late in assignments. Contact me a week or two in advance, if you must miss a scheduled examination.
