Course Purpose: This course serves the dual purposes of learning the principles and techniques for developing "large scale" software systems, and applying those techniques and principles to a project developed by student programming teams.

Homework: Homework will be assigned in the form of written and programming assignments. Late homework will receive reduced credit of 10% per 24-hour period (beginning at the time due). The major assignment is a "large scale" system to developed by programming teams. Project details will be covered at the time of project and team assignments.

Attendance: It is to your advantage to attend class and your responsibility to obtain information presented in your absence. If you miss an exam, you will receive a zero for it unless prior arrangements have been made.

Other Policies: The University has published policies concerning plagiarism, cheating and responsible use of computer resources. See "Student Rights and Responsibilities" in the Undergraduate Catalog or check the World Wide Web. Violation of these may result in a failing grade for the course. Blatant copying of individual assignments will result in shared credit among the persons involved for a first offense, and zero credit thereafter.

Disabled or Differently-Abled Students: Anyone who has special requirements should meet with the course instructor as soon as possible. The University has many resources available, e.g., the Learning Diagnostic Center and the Writing Center, to assist students with their learning experiences.
