<\/strong>We have the right to be treated and the responsibility to treat others with fairness and equity, the duty to challenge prejudice, and to uphold the laws, policies and procedures that promote justice in all respects.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCourse Policies (late assignments, make-up exams, revision policy, etc.)<\/h2>\n\n\n\nGrading Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
All assignments except for the labs are handled through automated testing and grading environments. In most cases you will get feedback within 1 day of submitting the assignments. The grading timeline for each assignment will be detailed under the assignment\u2019s \u201cGrading\u201d section on canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lab Attendance and Lab Completion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Labs have two components to their grade. The first is an attendance grade. This must be completed during your lab section. There are NO make ups for the Lab Attendance, missing a lab will result in a 0 for that attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lab Completion grades are manually entered by the TAs based on reviewing the work you completed during lab. These can be made up no later than the end of help desk hours the Monday of Module Four for each unit. You can earn the points for the lab completion grades either by showing your work and explaining your work to a TA during your lab section or during a UTA Help Desk time slot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To account for situations where attendance or completion are not possible (Illness, Family Emergency, etc.) Eight of the lab grades are automatically dropped from your gradebook. This can be either a Lab Attendance or Lab Completion grade. This accounts for 20% of the lab attendance or completion grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exam Policies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
There are two types of exams in the course. Coding Exams and Reading Exams. These exams are proctored exams in person that take place of your normal lab times. They must be completed during the lab section. Ensure that you arrive on time for the exam and arrive to your lab section for the exam. Your lab sections are your exam times and can only be swapped by switching the lab you are registered for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coding exams are 50 Minute coding challenges. You will be tasked with specific code to be implemented. During this time, you will only have access to Canvas, VS Code, and Codio. No other tools or websites will be available to access during the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reading Exams are also held in the labs. They are 50 Minute exams that cover a variety of material from each unit. Exams are CUMULATIVE with a focus primarily on new material. They are closed book, closed note, & closed neighbor exams. This is to test your knowledge of the material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During exams all personal devices are STRICTLY PROHIBITED. You may not use a cellphone, smart watch, or any other device during exam unless explicitly allowed by an ADA Accommodation. In which case you must confirm that with the Instructor and your Lab TAs prior to each exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you miss an Exam for any reason, you must contact the instructor As Soon As Possible.<\/strong> Exams cannot be made up in a later time slot. Exams can only be made up with appropriate documentation that shows a plausible reason for the absence from the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAssignment Extensions\/Make Up Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
These will rarely be given and only on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally, if it is an emergency (Medical Absence, Family Incident, Car Breaks Down, Personal Emergency, etc.) then please contact the instructor with documentation of the incident anything with a date\/time stamp or a signed document from a professional will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you know you will be absent from an exam or during the due date of an assignment, please contact the instructor at least 72 hours prior to the due date or exam date. An extension or Alternative date for the exam can be considered, but a retroactive exam absence will not be allowed. Please provide documentation that shows the time conflict with the due date or exam date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Late Policy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Readings, Weekly Quizzes, and Lab completions are the only assignments allowed to be completed \u201cLate\u201d. These assignments are open until the end of their unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All other materials in the course have a 0-tolerance late policy. Once the due date passes the assignment in closed unless there has been a prior extension discussion the assignment will lock and the grade earned at that time will remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
