Lab
activities will be done
in small groups typically of three students. TAs will assign
students into
groups in the labs. For each activity there will be one
score for every
student. Bring the course notes to each lab.
A
prelab consists of an online quiz
(Compass GradeBook) that should
be performed the individual student
(not in a
group) and
completed before the corresponding lab.
Material
considered in prelab and lab
activities will be used on the exams.
Each lab = 12 points.
All points for
labs will be totaled at the end of the semester. The
total of lab points cannot exceed 100
points.
Each prelab
= 6 points. All points for prelabs
will be totaled at
the end of the semester. The total of prelab
points
cannot exceed 50 points.
See the office hours here: http://courses.engr.illinois.edu/cs101/su2014/staff.htm
You may go to
any TA's office
hours, not just the person whose class you are registered
for.
Students must enter their answers to exam questions
on the scantron (bubble sheet)
provided during the exam (not after
the exam has ended). Once the exam has ended proctors will
collect all exams
and scantrons. Failure to fill in
the scantron in the allotted time
(for example, by only
circling answers on exam sheets) will result in a loss of 20
points for the
exam.
There is a
one-hour midterm exam
and a two-hour final exam.
An
instructor is obliged to
cancel regular class for an amount of time equal to that
required for the
evening exam.

Conflict
exam: Thursday
July 10th,
time and location to be announced
(You must email your request for a conflict exam by
clicking on the
“Conflict Exam” link on the course website, state your reason
for making the
request e.g. Math 242 Section AL1 exam from 7-8pm)
Final Exam:
Friday
August 8th, time and location to be announced
Conflict
exam: Saturday August 9th,
time and
location to be announced
(You must email
your request for a
conflict exam by clicking on the “Conflict Exam” link on the
course website,
state your reason for making the request e.g. Math 242 Section
AL1 exam from
7-9pm)
1. We have had
so many abuses of our policy that we now will take 10 points
off your test
score should you notify us of your need for a conflict within
3 days of the
midterm.
2. If a
conflict arises
because two courses have scheduled overlapping exams, then you
must take the
exam for the course that announced first, and the conflict for
the course that
announced second. When each course announced on the first day
of class (as we
are doing), then you may choose which conflict exam you'll
take. Often there
will be only one way that this can be accomplished.
3. It is
possible that you'll
have a conflict, which precludes your taking any evening exam
on the stipulated
date. We'll make special arrangements for you. However, you
still must contact
us within 3 days of the exam. Examples are scheduled
rehearsals or
performances, regularly scheduled labs, and
University-sanctioned athletic
events.
You
will be asked
to sign an attendance list at every exam. The proctor will
verify your identity
with the photo ID.
You
must also
sign your exam.
It
is your
responsibility and not the proctor's to ensure that you sign
the attendance
list.
If we cannot find your exam and you have not
signed the attendance
list your exam score is ZERO.
Students must enter their netid
correctly
on the scantron (bubble sheet)
provided during the
exam. Failure to do so will result in a loss of 10 points for
the exam.

In any appeal
procedure it is the student's responsibility to keep
possession of his/her
lab/mp/exam. In the process of a re-grade a student has
to arrange for a
TA to modify the grade in the presence of the student. A
student should not
hand over any material to the TA for keeping. Therefore, a
lost or missing
lab/mp/exam is no reason for a modification of a grade.

Please make sure to
mention that you missed
a graded assignment since notes will not be
provided for absence from lecture.
The letter
must state that
you have shown proof of your absence--do not go to the
Emergency Dean without
valid documentation of your absence. For example, an
appointment slip from
McKinley is not proper documentation because it shows only
that you made an
appointment.
If you miss an exam or other assignment worth points for the
course then we
assume that you will take the makeup exam or turn in the
assignment on the
first week-day (Monday – Friday) you are back to school as
indicated in your
note from the Emergency Dean unless we specifically grant you
an extension. Any
extension given by CS101 staff must be given via email (no
verbal approvals for
extensions).
What is cheating?
On MPs:
allowing others to
copy your code or reading someone else’s source code
constitutes cheating.
Students should protect their own work so that another student
cannot copy any
part of their code. Therefore, if copying has been
detected, it will be
assumed that cheating has occurred by all parties involved.
On Exams:
allowing others to
view your answers or reading someone else’s answer constitutes
cheating.
In case of a
charge of
academic irregularity against a student, the student has two
weeks after the
date of the charge to appeal the allegation. To make an
appeal the student
should first contact Dr. Gambill.
A
charge of academic irregularity can be made known to the
student by:
A proficiency exam
will be schedule sometime
during either the first or second week of the semester. See
the Proficiency link
on the course website for the date of the proficiency exam.
You cannot take a
proficiency exam at other times during the semester.
Proficiency
or attempting to proficiency a course doesn't affect your
tuition or GPA. There
is no charge (in the CS Department) for a proficiency exam,
and it is ignored
by tuition. If you are successful, the credit goes on your
transcript as a
grade of "Pass", so there is nothing to compute into your GPA.(It doesn't count in your semester
workload, either.)
Proficiency
credit counts
in every way except GPA (since there's no letter grade to
average). It counts
as hours earned, as well as fulfillment of a degree
requirement. The student
DOES get the credit hours.
James Scholar
students will
be assigned a programming assignment beyond the three MPs
assigned in
CS196 will NOT
be available
this semester.
