Tentative Readings:

Exam Policies: All students must bring photo ID to each exam. Students will not be admitted more than 10 minutes late to any exam. Make-up exams will be granted at the instructor's discretion, and ONLY for valid medical reasons (a doctor's note is required), for religious reasons, or for documented participation in University-sponsored events. Except for medical excuses, reasonable prior notification (at least 48 hours prior to the exam) to the instructor is REQUIRED in order for a make-up opportunity to be considered.

ISE 321 Information: ISE 321 information will be posted on the ISE 321 web page (http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~ise321). Copies of assignments and course handouts will be available on Brightspace.

Americans with Disabilities Act: If you have a physical, psychological, medical or learning dis-ability that may impact your course work, please contact Disability Support Services, located in Stony Brook Union Suite 107, (631) 632-6748. They will determine with you what accommodations, if any, are necessary and appropriate. All information and documentation is confidential. http://studentaffairs.stonybrook.edu/dss/

Students who require assistance during emergency evacuation are encouraged to discuss their needs with their professors and Student Accessibility Support Center. For procedures and information go to the following web site: http://www.ehs.stonybrook.edu and search Fire Safety and Evacuation and Disabilities.

Academic Integrity Policy: Each student must pursue his or her academic goals honestly and be personally accountable for all submitted work. Representing another person's work as your own is always wrong. Faculty are required to report any suspected instances of academic dishonesty to the Academic Judiciary. For more comprehensive information on academic integrity, including categories of academic dishonesty please refer to the academic judiciary website at http://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/academic_integrity/index.html

Basic Needs: If you are concerned about resources related to your basic needs, including access to nutritious food and stable housing, please contact the Student Support Team. They will be able to listen to your story, connect you with possible resources, and provide stigma-free support.

Students found guilty of academic dishonesty will automatically receive a final grade of 'F' for the course.

Critical Incident Management: Stony Brook University expects students to respect the rights, privileges, and property of other people. Faculty are required to report to the Office of University

Community Standards any disruptive behavior that interrupts their ability to teach, compromises the safety of the learning environment, or inhibits students' ability to learn.

Policy on Electronic Devices in Class: Students are encouraged to bring laptops and tablet de-vices to class for note-taking purposes only, especially during the programming lectures. All communication and entertainment devices should be silenced or (preferably) turned off for the duration of the class unless otherwise directed by the instructor. No electronic devices of any sort may be consulted or used during exams; this will be considered an instance of academic dishonesty, and will be treated as such.

Use of Email for Official Communication: Students, faculty, and staff are responsible for making sure they are receiving and checking for official University communications at their primary campus email address (@stonybrook.edu) on a regular basis, or making sure they forward their Stony Brook mail to a personal email account (Google Apps users only).

If you need general computer help, you can use the Computer Science Help Desk. Services offered include setting up an account on a department server, using Windows, using a browser, and connecting to the campus network. The Help Desk office is located in the SBCS Office - Room 2110.

Helpful Hints:

Developing good study habits is one of the keys to success in ISE 321, and most other courses. Read over assignments when you first receive them. Don't wait until the night before an assignment is due to begin work. Starting early on assignments is especially important. Assignments are designed to reinforce the course material, and to improve your problem-solving capabilities. Maximum benefit can only be achieved by devoting adequate thinking time, and time to experiment with different approaches to understanding and writing programs. Prepare yourself by planning a reasonable academic schedule, and learning to use your time and other available resources wisely.

Best of luck in ISE 321 this semester, and in your future career-oriented endeavors.
