E-mail and Internet BlackBoard® usage

You are responsible for arranging and maintaining a reliable e-mail account at Bradley University and checking your e-mail daily. On campus students must also establish a BlackBoard account. Some class announcements, homework solution tips and homework grades will be posted only on BlackBoard or only distributed by e-mail. Replies to your e-mail, in general, will go to the return address specified in your message. In no case instructor is responsible for not received e-mail due to full mailbox error or your choice of forwarding it to an off-campus location. Bradley University cannot guarantee privacy of email that is by your choice sent or forwarded to an off-campus location.

In general, mailboxes have certain maximum capacity that can be reached easily if you do not download your messages off the server. In no case instructor is responsible for you not receiving e-mail due to full mailbox error.

Homework

In spring 2002 there will be a few small programs and possibly a larger one as a final project assigned.

Eventually, there will be about 10 small projects. Each assignment may consist of one or two tasks or programs to write. Assignments will be posted on the course Web site and mentioned in the class. Usually they will be due Thursdays. Keep all of your work until the final grade is posted.

There will be about 13 assignments or small projects. Each assignment may consist of up to one or two programs to write. Assignments will be posted on the course web site and mentioned in the class. Usually they will be due by e- mail on Thursdays by 11:59pm. Keep your homework and a copy of the sent email in your mailbox until the grade is posted. Keep the received back email with grade until the end of the semester. To avoid delays follow the advised subject line and do not use that subject for asking questions.

Late submission: submitted later than at 11:59pm the day it is due will be penalized 10% per each started day until 50% is reached. Late submission penalty may be waived for homework received before instructor starts grading the particular assignment; no credit if submitted after the corresponding exam or after the last day of lectures, or if a sample solution is posted.

Exams

There are no exams in Spring 2002. Grade will be based only on the homework programs and projects.

Grading system

Your final grade: A, B, C, D and F will be determined by your total amount of points earned during the course using: 90%, 80%, 70% and 60% limits. Improvement in work and submission of all homework assignments will be used to determine the borderline cases. Students registered for some sections may be able to check progress in building their grade on-line using GradeWatch at any time.
