| Work Load | "Students are expected to spend three hours per week (including class hours) in study for each quarter hour of credit attempted." See 2009-2010 Undergraduate Course Catalog in the third paragraph under The Calendar, at http://catalog.otterbein.edu/content.php?catoid=6&navoid=213. COMP 121 is 2 credit hours and meets 2 hours per week so you are expected to spend about 4 hours per week outside of class. |

| Labs | This course does not include a formal lab period. However we will spend some class time working on tutorials and projects. |
| Academic Integrity Policy | All members of the Otterbein College
community of learners are expected to follow the rules and customs of proper
academic conduct.
Proper conduct includes avoiding academic misconduct
as defined in the Campus Life Handbook
at http://www.otterbein.edu/clh/code_of_conduct_policies.asp#sec_4.
You are encouraged to help each other learn the course material. You
may discuss all assignments and exercises with
one another. Participants in these discussions usually enjoy the benefit
of deeper and greater learning. However, all work submitted for individual
evaluation that is based on discussions with others must be your own work.
Any work submitted for individual evaluation that includes work done by another or copying of another's work violates the academic integrity policy of this course. When academic misconduct is found in any individual assignment you submit, you will receive a zero grade for that assignment. The misconduct may also be reported to the Office of the Academic Dean. If a previous academic misconduct offense is on your record, you will receive a grade of F for this course and a referral to the judicial system. |
