A two hour exam will be given at the end of the course. Exam date and material to be covered will be posted at least ten days prior to the exam. The final exam will be graded using the traditional percentage system (0 - 100).
I need your email address within the first week of the class. I will create an email list which will be used to send important notes and announcements. If your address is not on the that list, you cannot receive this info.
Handouts that summarize the important material should be used for study and further research every week. All materials are available for download on the course web site. Follow the course outline to locate related info.
Class discussions will be conducted pertaining to the lab assignments before each assignment and after it is due.
The file(s) related to the labs and homework assignments should be attached to the email message with the proper subject line: CIS77 Homework followed by the assignment number (or name).
The email message should be sent to the instructor:
Igor Kholodov Igor.Kholodov@bristolcc.edu
Assignments received after the due date will not be accepted for credit, unless prior arrangements have been made with the instructor.
Duplicate assignments received from two or more students will not be graded. Assignment responses should be in your own words that result from your own study, research and understanding.

The lecture will be the principal teaching method used in this course. "Handouts" and sample programs will be available on the class web page. Class discussions will be conducted pertaining to the Lab assignments before each assignment is given and after it is due. Software demos and overhead slides will be used.
The instructor reserves the right to withdraw you from the class after three (3) absences. If you choose to withdraw from the class it is your responsibility to withdraw formally from the class prior to the final withdrawal date. Failure to do so will result in an F grade for the course.
Instructors office hours will be posted on the class web page.
If you need some serious help with a homework assignment or if you need some one-on-one tutoring help to get caught up with the class, you can make an appointment with the instructor. Appointments can be arranged via e-mail or during class breaks. Half hour time slots are available for that purpose. Simple questions or assistance can be obtained through instructor's e-mail.
Plagiarism is not tolerated. Students are expected to take this course to learn, and you cannot learn unless you do the required homework assignments and turn in your own work for credit. Students who violate this rule may receive a penalty of the next lower letter grade or "F" for the course
