Lab Conduct
  1. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner.
  2. Laptops will be allowed only for the purpose of the class.
  3. During a lecture, students may not log into a machine and do work that is not directly related to the topic of the current lecture.
  4. Students must turn their cell phones/pagers OFF during the class.
E-mail Every student will be required to use his/her official email address (that is, blazerid@uab.edu). New students must login and configure their email addresses. For more details on obtaining a blazerid and configuring email, please see: http://www.uab.edu/blazerid. All email communications will be made using this address. Additional instructions or announcements will be sent by e-mail, so check your mail often - at least twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). Also, check the course webpage for up-to-date information and announcements. The instructor will check email frequently; e-mail is often the best way to contact the instructor.
Academic Honesty Students who plagiarize a computer program (or parts of a program), get others to write a program (or parts of a program), or are found cheating on an exam, will be reported for academic dishonesty. Anyone who is caught cheating will receive a 0 on a given test or assignment. If a second offense occurs, the student will receive an F in the class. This includes both the provider of the information as well as the receiver of the information. Any student who violates the university's academic honesty policy will be reported for academic discipline. All university and department policies related to students are included here by implication.
