Exercises:
Homework will be assigned daily. Homework must be neat and legible. Homework is due at the beginning of the second class period after it is assigned. Homework should be one-sided (don't use both sides of the paper) and it should be folded in with your name, class, and homework number on the outside front. Homework will be graded for correctness. Late homework will not be accepted unless it is pre-approved. You are encouraged to study together, but you must submit your own work.
Projects:
Homework Projects will be assigned throughout the semester. These will include assembly language programming assignments. They will be posted on the class web site. We will use the SPIM simulator for the assembly language programming assignments. Source code for assembly language programming assignments must be submitted to the instructor by email.
Exams:
You may NOT make up any missed exams. If you cannot take an exam because of a legitimate reason, you must make other arrangements before the scheduled time of the exam. If the percentage of your final exam is higher than the percentage of a majority of the term exams, the lowest exam percentage will be raised to the percentage of the final exam.
Disabilities:
Students with medical, psychological, learning or other disabilities desiring accommodations, academic adjustments, or auxiliary aids should contact the Accessibility Resource Center, Room 241 Greenwood Student Center, phone number 435 283 7321. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator in the Student Success Center determines eligibility for and authorizes the provision of appropriate services and aids.
