Course Description


PROFESSOR:  Marek A. Suchenek, Ph.D.

TEACHING ASSISTANT:
Mr. Shawn Her Many Horses




OFFICE HOURS:



PREREQUISITES: CSC 123 (Intro to CS and Programming), MAT 281 (Discrete Math) and their prerequisites, with grade C or better.

OBLIGATORY TEXTBOOK. The scope of the course is covered by: Thomas A. Standish, Data Structures in Java, Addison - Wesley (Reading, Mass. 1998), ISBN-10: 020130564X, ISBN-13: 978-0201305647.

The students enrolled in this course can loan this textbook from the Department for the duration of the entire semester free of charge (while the supply lasts). A nominal refundable deposit will be required.

SCOPE. Students are responsible for material covered by lectures, assigned readings and exercises, and are assumed to preliminarily read appropriate parts of the textbook before the material is covered in class, according to the following syllabus.

QUIZZES. A number of short quizzes will be administrated during semester. They will be announced one class ahead. One lowest quiz score will be dropped.

MIDTERM. One midterm (60 min) will cover the foregoing material. The midterm is scheduled on Thursday, March 26, 2015. It will earn credit of 0 - 30 points.

FINAL EXAM (120 min.) will cover the material discussed in class and assigned as readings. The exam is scheduled on Tuesday, May 12, 2015. It will earn 0 - 50 points.

GRADING. The following elements contribute to the total score.

Homework not graded
Programs      0 - 10 %
Quizzes         0 - 10 %
Midterm         0 - 30 %
Final              0 - 50 %
======         =======

Total             0 - 100 %

Course grade will be determined according to the following schedule.

0 - 45% yield F (failing work)
46 - 50% yield D (barely passing)
51 - 55% yield D+
56 - 60% yield C-
61 - 65% yield C (satisfactory achievement)
66 - 70% yield C+
71 - 75% yield B-
76 - 80% yield B (very good achievement)
81 - 85% yield B+
86 - 90% yield A-
91 - 100% yield A (excellent achievement)

Other grades (e.g. incomplete) will be assigned in cases specified by the university regulations.

ASSIGNMENTS. Homework assignments will not be collected or graded. For the needs of course documentation, the midterm and the final will not be returned to the students.

For the same reason, programming assignments will not be returned unless submitted in duplicate. Except for permitted use of procedures included in the handouts, each program is supposed to be a 100% individual work; in particular, no form of collaboration or help is allowed. They will be made available during the class following the test and during office hours for the remainder of the semester.

NO-MAKE-UP POLICY. No make-ups will be given. Late programs will not be accepted. However, one quiz may be missed since the lowest quiz score will be dropped anyway.

ADA STATEMENT Students with disabilities, who believe they may need an academic adjustment in this class, are encouraged to contact Disabled Student Services as soon as possible to better ensure receipt of timely adjustments.


ACADEMIC INTEGRITY. Students are reminded of the university policy with regard to scholastic honesty. In this class, submission for credit of any assignment, program, test, or examination that is not the student's original work or contains portions of someone else's work without being clearly and specifically identified as such, as well as cheating on tests or examination, are violations that will automatically yield zero credit for the submitted work and may also result in an F grade in the course or in university disciplinary action, or both.

CSUDH Academic Inegrity policies are listed in the Catalog. You are supposed to know what they are, including definitions of cheating, plagiarism, and dishonesty. A link below has been provided for your conveninece:

STUDENT ACADEMIC APPEAL PROCESS Authority and responsibility for assigning grades to students rests with the faculty. A grade appeal is permitted when a student can show clear evidence that a grade was contrary to procedures as specified in the course syllabus, was based on prejudice, was capricious, or was the result of computational or clerical error. The presumption is that the grades assigned are correct until there is a clear demonstration otherwise. The burden of proof is heavy, and it rests with the student who is appealing.
