You are encouraged to post (and, answer) questions on the D2L discussion board, since you might get another student's ideas within a few minutes, instead of my response perhaps a day or more later. If your question requires giving away part the answer (e.g. part of your solution), feel free to email me; please include “ITEC345” in the subject.

Other Material
Class Courtesy Please refrain from texting during lecture, and use a computer only for taking notes and looking up material related to lecture (e.g. looking up Wikipedia's definition of “asymmetric encryption”). Please do not: check email, browse other sites, check your phone, etc.. Other students can be distracted by your screen, and your inattentiveness detracts from the classroom experience for all.
Evaluation:
Assignments and Quizzes | 50% |
Report | 10% |
Midterm Exams (2) | 20% |
Final Exam | 15% |
Attendence | 5% |
There will frequent summary-quizzes and occasional pop quizzes in class; fair game for these quizzes include applying concepts from recent lecture topics or reading, as well as any previous quizzes. (Note: “recent” lectures includes lecture material given earlier in the same class!)
Final Exam: Dec.08 (Mon) 14:45, as per the final exam schedule.
Attendence will be taken indirectly, via taking a quiz or turning in homework. If you don't have a homework to submit on a day it is due, turn in one sheet of paper with your name and “no homework #n, but present on date”. Of course, quiz/hw points are in addition to attendence points. You may be considered absent if you miss the start of class.
Late Policy: No late homework is accepted. We may discuss solutions in class the day the assignment is due. If you know in advance you won't be able to turn in homework on time (e.g. participating in university sports) you must get permission in advance to turn the homework in late. For significant illness or family crisis without advance notice (but with later documentation), contact the professor as soon as possible to arrange to catch up on the work. You cannot make up missed in-class quizzes.
Honor Policy: As with all your RU classes, the university honor code governs all work done for the course. (For some specifics, see page 7, items 1-9.) Copying from internet sources (including Wikipedia) is plagiarism. Allow other students to copy your work (either knowingly, or due to not taking proper measures to secure your work — e.g. printing to a lab printer but not picking up the hardcopy promptly, or making your files readable to others on a filesystem that others have access to.
You are encouraged to discuss and interpret the homeworks and general approaches to solutions with your fellow students. However, You must be the direct author of all your submitted work. (For example, sharing (sending or receiving) a hw solution with others is a clear honor code violation.)
Other University Resources: Radford has many resources to help you in different ways, including the student counseling services (x5226), and the Learning Assistance Resource Center (“LARC”, x7704, www.radford.edu/~larc, ).
If you need any special accomodations for a class, and have registered with the Disability Resource Office (x6350, Tyler Hall Suite 64), please contact the professor at the start of the semester. (more info If you are seeking academic accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act at Radford University, you are required to register with the Disability Resource Office (DRO). To receive academic accommodations for this class, please submit your documentation to the DRO in the lower level of Tyler Hall Suites 54-69, by fax to 540-831-6525, or by email to dro@radford.edu. After submitting documentation to our office, you will set up an interview with a Disability Services Specialist to discuss accommodations. You will be notified via email once your accommodation package is complete and ready to be picked up. Once you have picked up your accommodation package, you will need to meet with each course professor during their office hours to review and discuss your package. For more information and/or for documentation guidelines, visit www.radford.edu/dro or call 540-831-6350. )
1 Still, safety comes first in inclement weather; if attending-virtually isn't possible due to safety concerns, contact me to avoid attendence issues, though you will still need to review any material discussed. ↩
