1) Practicum: \\
Practicum sessions will include computer projects and student project presentations. Some of the practicum sessions may be allocated to problem-solving sessions and/or tests.\\
\\
2) Homework Quizzes: \\
It is extremely important that the homework problems be worked regularly - not only for the sake of the homework quiz grade, but also to ensure sufficient facility in problem solving so that you can perform well within the constraints of the tests or final exam.\\
\\
3) Miscellaneous (please read this carefully!)\\
Please note that group study for working out solutions to problems and computer projects is acceptable, and helpful to many students. However, the problems or project report you turn in should be written out on your own, and not copied verbatim from another student's work or from the material found online.  It should reflect your understanding of the material. Practicum reports which are turned in and found to be verbatim copies of each other will be given zero credit, regardless of which is the original work. All work on an exam or test is to be entirely on your own.  The use of artificial intelligence technologies such as ChatGBT to generate text is not allowed and will be treated as an academic integrity violation. \\

4) Masking\\
Masks are optional in both lecture and practicum.  Please respect each person's decision on whether to wear a mask.\\
