Attendance
Every student in the class is required and responsible to attend every class. If a student misses a
class without officially acceptable excuses such as a serious illness, the instructor has no
responsibility to make up any missing lab sessions and lectures for him or her.
Plagiarism and Cheating
Students are encouraged to work together and to discuss the assignments in general terms. The
following activities (but not limited to) will be considered as cheating: copying another person's
work on a written assignment or exam; copying another person's program and homepage
design; using any reference not authorized by the instructor in a close-book exam. When
creating Web material, if you use information from another Website, you should credit that
work to those people who are responsible for the work. Include a hyperlink to that Website.
Otherwise you can be cited for plagiarism. According to DePaul University's policy, if proven, a
charge of plagiarism could result in an automatic F in the course and possible expulsion. The
strongest of sanctions will be imposed on anyone who submits as his/her own work a report,
examination paper, computer file, lab report, or other assignment which has been prepared by
someone else. If you have any questions or doubts about what plagiarism entails or how to
properly acknowledge source materials be sure to consult the instructor.
More information can be found at http://academicintegrity.depaul.edu/. If you have any
questions be sure to consult with your professor.
Incomplete
An incomplete grade is given only for an exceptional reason such as a death in the family, a
serious illness, etc. Any such reason must be documented. Any incomplete request must be
made at least two weeks before the final, and approved by the Dean of the College of
Computing and Digital Media. Any consequences resulting from a poor grade for the course will
not be considered as valid reasons for such a request.
