\newcommand\gradingPolicy{\noindent
Lab scores will be aggregated into a single final percentage score. This percentage score will be converted to a letter grade on the following scale:
A(93 -- 100), A--(90 -- 92.9), B+(87 -- 89.9), B(83 -- 86.9), B--(80 -- 82.9), C+(77 -- 79.9), C(73 -- 76.9), C--(70 -- 72.9), D+(67 -- 69.9), D(63 -- 66.9), D--(60 -- 62.9), F(<60).

Thus, for instance, if there are ten lab assignments in the semester and your scores are 85/100, 90/100, 80/100, 90/100, 88/100, 90/100, 100/100, 100/100, 99/100 and 60/100, then your final score is 882/1000 i.e.\ 88.2\%. Thus, your final grade is B+.}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{Labs must be completed and uploaded to ``Blackboard" (the course management software) before the posted deadline. You must zip up the source code directory and upload the zipped file to ``Blackboard". Late lab assignments will be assessed a 10\% penalty per day, up to the posted cut-off date. After the cut-off date, lab assignments WILL NOT be accepted. 
If you cannot fully finish your lab, turn in your incomplete work to receive partial credit.}

Since you opted for an AI Policy, you should edit this part, choosing one of the following statements, modifying as desired:\\
\\
The use of AI-generated content is not permitted in this course.
Its use will result in an academic integrity violation and a zero on the assignment.\\
\\
OR\\
\\
The use of AI-generated content is allowed in this course.\\
\\
OR\\
\\
The use of AI-generated content is permitted as follows: (a) for generating a first draft or (b) for generating an outline or (c) for generating XXX.\\
\\
AND, if AI is allowed:\\
\\
Even if you have significantly edited AI-generated material, you must identify the AI tool used to assist in generating your work. You are required to provide the name of the tool, date used, and prompts used to generate the output.  As you may be required to submit the original AI output, you must keep a copy of the original output and provide it when requested.  If questions arise about the authorship of submitted work, you are responsible for authenticating your authorship.  You should save evidence of your authorial process, such as drafts, notes, version histories, and complete transcripts of AI assistance.

If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).}}
