Late Assignments will be penalized 3 points for each day (excluding weekends and holidays) that it is late, up to a maximum of 50 points.

The following grading scale will be used:

Midterm grade is calculated based on the tests (60%) and assignment scores (40%) obtained in the first half of the semester.

ATTENDANCE POLICY (for all courses in the Department of Computer Science): Attendance will be taken during lecture. Unexcused absences in excess of 10% of the scheduled meetings will result in a one letter grade reduction for the course. Unexcused absences in excess of 20% of the scheduled meetings will result in a two letter grade reduction for the course. Unexcused absences in excess of 30% of the scheduled meetings will result in a three letter grade reduction for the course. Students with unusual circumstances should advise the instructor of their situation immediately. Students will be held responsible for all announcements made in class.

The Computer Science Department at Eastern Kentucky University has joined the Microsoft Developers Network Academic Alliance (MSDNAA) in order to provide our students with the latest software development tools from Microsoft. According to the terms of this agreement, our students are allowed to install any software development tool and operating system required to run these tools on their computer for free or for a minimal fee. In order to obtain any software provided through our MSDNAA agreement, students must register at http://www.cs.eku.edu/msdnaa. Within a couple of days after registration, the student will receive an e-mail describing how to obtain the desired software package.

Our MSDNAA agreement also allows us to install the latest version Visual Studio in all the Computer Science Department’s computer labs on the fourth floor of the Wallace building and in many of the EKU student computer labs like the computer labs in the Library, the Student Services Building and the Combs Building.

Even though Visual Studio is installed on the computers in the student computer labs, the support staff who work in these labs are not required to learn how to use Visual Studio so students of computer science classes should not expect to get any assistance in using Visual Studio from these workers. Students should direct any questions concerning course material including programming assignments to the instructor of the course or any teaching assistant assigned to the course.
