Academic Honesty
The universitys Academic Honesty policy as it is described in
section 10 of the Student Handbook -- is in effect for this course.
Please make sure you are familiar with this policy.
You can find the online version of the Student Handbook at:
http://drexel.edu/studentaffairs/community_standards/studentHandbook/
Collaboration Policy for Assignments
Although teamwork is an essential element of practicing software
engineers, I strongly believe that for this introductory course you must
work on your own. As you are trying to understand the problem you
need to solve and formulate the solution, you are encouraged to discuss
the problem with other students. However, the actual work to complete
the assignment should be done strictly by you.
Attendance
Required.
Computer Accounts
It is important to get a Drexel computer account. It will provide you
with access to available computing resources beyond your own personal
computer.

How to Submit Assignments

1. Assignments that do not require a program to be implemented
will be collected in class on the due date. Late assignments should be
given directly to my TA.
2. Assignments that require a program to be implemented
TBD, please stay tuned.
