CSC 4800 Theory and Practice of
Internet Applications
Spring 2003

Course Organization: Periodically, I will hand out either a set of readings or a homework project for the following week(s)' lectures. Since our course's text does not cover all the material I want to present, it is important that you keep up with the reading and projects, as my lectures will assume at least a passing familiarity with them.

There will be approximately 5 graded homework projects (weekly programming or pencil-and-paper), a web server programming project, two midterms, and a final project.

Homework assignments cannot be handed in late, since we may discuss the answers in class the day they are handed in. If you think you can't get a homework handed in on time, send it to me via email as an attachment! Programming assignments will lose 10 points for each day after the due date that they are handed in late. Programs can be handed in as late as 11:59:59 pm the day they are due, and still be considered "on time."

Academic Integrity: You may not share answers for assignments or copy answers from any unsanctioned sources, though you are allowed to discuss problems with programming assignments. Homeworks must be your own work, and programming assignments must represent your own work. In the team projects, however, you are strongly encouraged to share work. In general, as long as what you hand in to me is the product of your own thinking, or is properly attributed when I allow reliance on outside sources, you are maintaining academic integrity. WHEN IN DOUBT, consult me or the TA for help. ANY VIOLATION OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY WILL RESULT IN AT LEAST A GRADE OF ZERO FOR THE ASSIGNMENT AND A REPORT TO THE UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC INTEGRITY BOARD.
