Academic Integrity
You MUST follow the CSIS Department Policy and all University
policies/documents that relate to academic integrity.
My additional policies on academic integrity are as follows:
ALL test/exam answers MUST be your OWN closed-book work.
Any suspected cheating on a test/exam will result in
FAILURE for the COURSE.
Projects/labs/homeworks MUST be your OWN work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Important Rules:
1. You need to attend EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY LECTURE because
- we cover a lot of material
- we cover it at a fairly rapid pace
- material builds from day to day.
2. Your project is on my web page.
You are encouraged to "look ahead" a bit, but
I will not discuss details of the project
until after it has been explained in class.
You are STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from trying to develop the project
before it is discussed in class. You WILL be missing some details
and will be improperly designing the project.
3. For your portion of the project, you will likely work alone.
NO groups are allowed unless preauthorized by me.
All project modules MUST be E-mailed to studacct@cis.ysu.edu
Place the code as the TEXT of the email. NO ATTACHMENTS!!!!
I must RECEIVE your portion of the project no later than 10 AM ON
the due date, or a grade of ZERO WILL result.
4. You are expected to work on the projects on your own time and be
FINISHED on the due date.
5. You know the dates of all projects/tests so you must take tests and
present/turn in projects on the days specified or you will receive a
grade of ZERO for that test or project.
6. If you come to the office for help, try to arrive near
the START of an Office Hour to allow more time for help.
7. If there is some MAJOR reason that will cause you to miss a
test/project:
A. Prior to 10 AM on the day in question
email rick@cis.ysu.edu (preferred) or call my office or
the CSIS Department (330-941-3134).
State TWO things:
1. what is wrong.
2. the day you expect to return.
Make provisions for someone else to email or call if you
are unable.
B. You will get a reply setting up a makeup date.
C. On the day of your return, you must present documentation
explaining your absence or you will not be allowed to
make up the test or project.
8. The subject of your email should follow this format:
CIS 3718 name topic
where name is your first and last name and
topic is the topic of your email.
Example: CIS 3718 John Doe Question on Project

9. You should not INTERRUPT class.
Your classmates deserve a quiet atmosphere and so does your prof.
