Click the following link to access the Time Converter to ensure you account for the difference in Time Zones. Note: Arizona does not observe daylight savings time. Grading Procedure Grades reflect your performance on assignments and adherence to deadlines. Grades on assignments will be available within 72 hours of the due date in the Gradebook. Quizzes There are no officially graded JavaScript quizzes in this course except for the final exam at the end of the course. Each module has a practice quiz that you can take as many times as you want to test your reading in the chapter aligned to each module. It is highly recommended that you take them at least once so you can use the results of your practice quiz submission as a study guide for the final exam, which is composed of a random sampling of the quiz questions that appeared on each module practice quiz. Late Assignments Notify the instructor BEFORE an assignment is due if an urgent situation arises and you are unable to submit the assignment on time. Late assignments will be accepted up to two days after the due date. The grade will be reduced by 10% for each day the assignment is late. After two days, the assignment will be worth 0 points. Follow the appropriate University policies to request an accommodation for religious practices or to accommodate a missed assignment due to University-sanctioned activities. Communicating With the Instructor Discussion Forum This course uses a discussion topic called "Discussion Forum" for general questions and comments about the course. Prior to posting a question or comment, check the syllabus, announcements, and existing posts to ensure it's not redundant. You are encouraged to respond to the questions of your classmates. Email questions of a personal nature to your instructor. You can expect a response within 24 hours. Email
4 of 7 ASU email is an official means of communication among students, faculty, and staff. Students are expected to read and act upon email in a timely fashion. Students bear the responsibility of missed messages and should check their ASU-assigned email regularly. Feel free to contact the instructor directly by e-mail with any questions regarding the course. All instructor correspondence will be sent to your ASU email account. If you use Canvas Inbox to send a message, the response to that message should come back to your ASU email account as a Canvas notification. Click here to learn more about the Canvas inbox. ASU Online Course Policies View the ASU Online Course Policies Disability Accommodations Suitable accommodations will be made for students having disabilities. Students needing accommodations must register with the ASU disabilities resource Center and provide documentation of that registration to the instructor. Students should communicate the need for an accommodation in sufficient time for it to be properly arranged. Harassment and Sexual Discrimination Arizona State University is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation for the entire university community, including all students, faculty members, staff employees, and guests. ASU expressly prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation by employees, students, contractors, or agents of the university based on any protected status: race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, and genetic information. Title IX is a federal law that provides that no person be excluded on the basis of sex from participation in, be denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity. Both Title IX and university policy make clear that sexual violence and harassment based on sex is prohibited. An individual who believes they have been subjected to sexual violence or harassed on the basis of sex can seek support, including counseling and academic support, from the university. If you or someone you know has been harassed on the basis of sex or sexually assaulted, you can find information and resources at https://sexualviolenceprevention.asu.edu/faqs. Mandated sexual harassment reporter: As an employee of the University I am considered a mandated reporter and therefore obligated to report any information regarding alleged acts of sexual discrimination that I am informed of or have a reasonable basis to believe occurred. ASU Counseling Services, https://eoss.asu.edu/counseling, is available if you wish to
5 of 7 discuss any concerns confidentially and privately. Academic Honesty Policy Students in this class must adhere to ASU’s academic integrity policy, (which can be found at https://provost.asu.edu/academic-integrity/policy). Students are responsible for reviewing this policy and understanding each of the areas in which academic dishonesty can occur. In addition, all engineering students are expected to adhere to both the ASU Academic Integrity Honor Code and the Fulton Schools of Engineering Honor Code. All academic integrity violations will be reported to the Fulton Schools of Engineering Academic Integrity Office (AIO). The AIO maintains record of all violations and has access to academic integrity violations committed in all other ASU college/schools. In accordance with the ASU Student Academic Integrity policy, you are to do your own work in this course. Cheating in this course means that you have attempted to submit work that is not entirely of your own making. There are lots of code examples in our book which are free for you to borrow ideas for coming to solutions for the projects in this course, but you are also required to explain what the code is doing in your own words for full credit. If you happen to find a tutorial online and want to submit that as your own work without explaining what the code is doing, you will likely be suspected in violation of the academic integrity policy. If you submit code that is 100% or very similar to someone else's code in the class, you will likely be suspected in violation of the academic integrity policy. If you are suspected to be in violation, you will be given a grade of zero for that particular assignment along with an invitation to work with the course instructor in correcting the work submitted. It will be at the discretion of the instructor to award credit for the corrected submission. Copyright

You must refrain from uploading to any course shell, discussion board, or website used by the course instructor or other course forum, material that is not the student's original work, unless the students first comply with all applicable copyright laws; faculty members reserve the right to delete materials on the grounds of suspected copyright infringement.
