Course description

Online Format

Class will be held during the scheduled time via zoom (check either piazza or sakai for the zoom link). If possible, I encourage you to attend class synchronously. I do understand that attending class live may not be possible. We will record all lectures and make then available to the class. Given the nature of the class, these video recording should still be a good way to engage with the material.

  Late policy

  I understand that sometimes things get busy, things come up, you get sick, etc. To help in these situations, you may submit two assignments late by up 48 hours. If you're going to turn an assignment in late, please e-mail me to let me know. Beyond this, except under very extenuating circumstantces, I will not accept late assignments.

  Academic honesty and collaboration

  I take academic honesty very seriously.

  You are encouraged to get together in small groups to discuss material from the lectures and text. However, the work that you turn in must be done independently, unless an assignment is explicitly designated as one in which collaboration is allowed.

  In particular, your work must not be based on information obtained from sources other than those approved for the course (i.e., the text, web pages linked from the course web page, and materials provided in lecture). You should never copy another students code or solutions, exchange computer files, or share your code or solutions with anyone else in the class until after an assignment is due. You may, however, use any code that we provide to you or that comes from the textbook, as long as you acknowledge the source. Additionally, the tutors are allowed to help you with your code.

  If you are ever unsure about what constitutes acceptable collaboration, please ask!

  For more information see the Computer Science Department's Academic Honesty Policy and the college's policy.

  Disability accomodations

  Pomona College is committed to providing equal opportunity for participation in all programs, services and activities. Requests for accommodations may be made by contacting the Disability Coordinator on your home campus. At Pomona College, that person is Associate Dean of Students Jan Collins-Eaglin. Pomona College's policy on disability accommodations can be found at the Dean of Student's website.

  Due to the nature of this course, extensions on assignments will not be allowed.

  If you have any accomodations, please come talk to me in the first two weeks of class.
