Students may meet with the instructor in person or via internet-conferencing. A week-by-week schedule of available meeting times can be found by going to the instructor's home page (http://www.cs.odu.edu/~zeil) and clicking on “ Office Hours and Appointments ”.
This course is hosted at http://www.cs.odu.edu/~zeil/cs382.html.
This is a Internet-delivered course. There are no regularly scheduled class meetings.
All students taking this course must have activated a login and e-mail account on the CS Dept's Unix network. The account setup and password can be obtained at http://www.cs.odu.edu/ by clicking on “Account Creation”.
Because this course does not have traditional lectures, most communication between instructor and students will need to be conducted electronically.
Questions and discussion are encouraged. Whenever possible, these should be conducted through the website's online Forum rather than via email. Students should read Navigating the Course Web Pages and Asking Questions documents on the Policies page of the course web site to learn how this is done.
As noted earlier, the instructor will hold regular office hours. Off-campus students can contact the instructor by telephone or by network conferencing during these times.
Everything turned in for grading in this course must be your own work. The instructor reserves the right to question a student orally or in writing and to use his evaluation of the student's understanding of the assignment and of the submitted solution as evidence of cheating. Violations will be reported to the office of Student Judicial Affairs for consideration for punitive action.
Students who contribute to violations by sharing their code/designs with others are subject to the same penalties as those who misrepresent such work as their own.
This policy is not intended to prevent students from providing legitimate assistance to one another. Students are encouraged to seek/provide one another aid in general issues relating to the course subject matter. Student discussions should avoid, however, explicit discussion of approaches to solving a particular assignment.
