Course learning objectives:
On this page you will find information about:
These are blog implementations written by students in Fall 2006 CSci 1101. Some of the functionality is disabled to prevent spam and other unauthorized posting/commenting, so you may get an occasional error message on some pages. All code has been written by students from the ground up. Great job, everyone!
When: | Tu, Th 9 - 9:50am | Where: | Sci 1030. |
In addition to the book I may occasionally assign extra reading material. Such materials, as well as homework assignment, will be available on the course blog. You must read the blog frequently.
In addition, you must check your UMM e-mail frequently (at least once a day). I may send clarifications for problem sets by e-mail.

Official Grading Policies:
Grades:
A | achievement that is outstanding relative to the level necessary to meet course requirements. |
B | achievement that is significantly above the level necessary to meet course requirements. |
C | achievement that meets the course requirements in every respect. |
D | achievement that is worthy of credit even though it fails to meet fully the course requirements. |
S | achievement that is satisfactory, which is equivalent to a C- or better (achievement required for an S is at the discretion of the instructor but may be no lower than a C-). |
F (or N) | Represents failure (or no credit) and signifies that the work was either (1) completed but at a level of achievement that is not worthy of credit or (2) was not completed and there was no agreement between the instructor and the student that the student would be awarded an I (see also I) |
I | Incomplete. Assigned at the discretion of the instructor when, due to extraordinary circumstances, e.g., hospitalization, a student is prevented from completing the work of the course on time. Requires a written agreement between instructor and student. |
Credits:
One credit is defined as equivalent to an average of
three hours of learning effort per week (over a full semester)
necessary for an average student to achieve an average grade in the
course. For example, a student taking a four credit course that meets
for three hours a week should expect to spend an additional nine hours
a week on coursework outside the classroom.
Academic dishonesty:
Scholastic dishonesty is defined in the University
Student Conduct Code. If in doubt as to how the code is
applicable to a specific assignment or other course-related work,
please ask.
Academic dishonesty in any portion of the
academic work for a course shall be grounds for a penalty, up to and
including awarding a grade of F
or N for the entire course.
Problem set collaboration policy:
Problem sets can be done in groups. For guidelines on work in groups
please see the syllabus. Discussion with students other than
those in your group (or anyone not in this class) should be limited to general
approaches to the
problem. All such discussions
as well as use of sources other than the textbook and the handouts
given in class must be acknowledged in the beginning of the problem
solution.
Classroom conduct:
Students are expected to interact with the instructor and other
students with respect and courtesy. Students should attend every class
session prepared to learn and work. Participation in class is
expected, which includes both listening and speaking up. Students are
expected to ask questions about the course material as needed, either
in class or during the instructor's office hours, or by e-mail.
Do not use cell phones or other loud or otherwise disruptive equipment in class without the instructor's consent. Students whose behavior is disruptive either to the instructor or to other students may be asked to leave. Students whose behavior suggests the need for counseling or other assistance may be referred to counseling services. Students whose behavior violates the University Student Conduct Code will be subject to disciplinary action.

It is University policy to provide reasonable accommodations to
students with disabilities. This publication/material is available in
