Course Policies

All assignments will have a 24-hour grace period during which no points will be deducted. After that, an assignment may be turned in between 24 and 48 hours of the due date for 50% credit. After 48 hours, an assignment will not receive credit.

All assignments are posted well in advance. Be sure to get an early start so that you have plenty of time to get help when you need it.

Attendance

Regular attendance and participation are required to succeed in this course. Absences have a huge impact on your team productivity, as well as your individual learning.

If missing a class is unavoidable, you are responsible for asking a classmate to take notes, and pick up any handouts you may have missed. You do not need to notify the instructor if you will be missing a class.

Extra Credit

You may earn up to 12 points in extra credit. Each extra credit activity is worth 3 points. Several extra credit opportunities are listed below. If you have other ideas for extra credit, please email or talk to the instructor. To receive extra credit, submit a brief 1-2 paragraph writeup of your experience in Canvas within one week of the event. The link is under Course Resources in Canvas.

No extra credit will be accepted more than a week after the event, or beyond the last day of class.

Tutoring

There are tutors available for all Software Development classes. View the Tutoring Schedule for days, times, and locations.

Tutors are here to support your learning, not to complete your work for you. The following Tutoring Protocols will help ensure that you maximize your learning —

Allowed tutoring practices:

Not allowed:

Academic Integrity and Collaboration

All work you submit in this course must be your own. Plagiarism, including submitting someone else’s ideas, words, or code as your own, is a form of academic dishonesty and undermines your learning. If I suspect that submitted work is not your own, I will meet with you to discuss it.

AI tools may be used to support your learning, but you are responsible for verifying their accuracy. You may not submit AI-generated work as your own.

Allowed uses of AI:

Not allowed:

The goal of this policy is to help you build real skills. Learning to write code, debug problems, and think algorithmically requires practice and active engagement. Completing your own work ensures that you develop the understanding needed for future courses and professional work.

Collaboration is encouraged in appropriate ways. You are welcome to ask questions, discuss ideas with classmates, and seek help from tutors or the instructor. However, your final submitted work must reflect your own understanding.

If you are ever unsure whether a particular use of AI is allowed, ask before using it.

If submitted work is not your own, the assignment will receive a zero. Repeated violations may result in failing the course.

Counseling Services

Counseling Services provides short-term mental health counseling and self-care/wellness education to Green River students. Workshops and consultation services are offered for staff, faculty, and student organizations. Services are free and confidential.

Counseling Services are provided by licensed psychologists, social workers, and professional mental health therapists. We are here to help by providing support to explore emotional concerns, developing new awareness and skills, and mobilizing your existing strengths, qualities and abilities. While some people who seek counseling have chronic emotional difficulties, most are dealing with normal life events and are simply in need of an objective listener - someone who doesn't judge and who can help you see new alternatives.
