• Class registration is not allowed after the first week of class.
• All projects must be submitted on D2L.
• Students must keep backup copies of all submitted projects.
• Extra credit assignments are not given.
• No late assignments will be accepted after the Saturday following finals week, 11:59pm.
• For an incomplete to be granted, (1) unforeseeable circumstances have prevented the student from completing course requirements by the end of the term, and (2) the student has otherwise demonstrated satisfactory progress in the course.
• An incomplete is hard to get in CDM. It is usually only allowed for a major illness (typically requiring hospitalization) or a death in the family. In any case documentation is required.
• A request for an incomplete must be submitted on MyCDM before the end of Week 9.
• More than one half of the work for the course must be completed and submitted for an incomplete request to be considered.
• The official late penalty for class projects is 10% per day. An exception to this penalty requires documentation, as well as a discussion with the professor about how to avoid late submissions for future projects. It also requires documentation to support the reasons for the late submission. Such documentation should be submitted on or before the date the the project is due. Even if a late penalty is reduced, it will not be not entirely eliminated.
• If you have trouble submitting any project, email the professor to show that you completed it on time, then submit the assignment on the D2L system as soon as possible.
• Submitting a wrong version is not a reason to waive a late penalty for a project.
• Extra credit assignments are not given.
• This syllabus is subject to change as necessary during the quarter. If a change occurs, it will be announced during the class and posted on the course announcements page.

Online Course Evaluations
Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism
This course will be subject to the university's academic integrity policy. The DePaul Student Handbook defines plagiarism as follows: “Plagiarism includes but is not limited to the following: (a) The direct copying of any source, such as written and verbal material, computer files, audio disks, video programs or musical scores, whether published or unpublished, in whole or in part, without proper acknowledgement that it is someone else’s. (b) Copying of any source in whole or in part with only minor changes in wording or syntax even with acknowledgement. (c) Submitting as one's own work a report, examination paper, computer file, lab report or other assignment which has been prepared by someone else. This includes research papers purchased from any other person or agency. (d) The paraphrasing of another's work or ideas without proper acknowledgement.” Plagiarism will result in a failure of the assignment or possibly of the course. If you are unsure of how to cite a source, ask!
