Grading change request to instructor

You may ask the instructor to change your grade on any quiz, assignment, PHP project, or
midterm within five days after the grade is posted. You may ask the instructor to change your
grade on the final JSP project within two days after the grade is posted. Any appeal must
include the reason for the appeal and any sources that support your appeal. Please send your
appeal to zma@csupomona.edu.
Class participation
Regular class attendance is required. Participation points will be awarded on in-class pop
quizzes. These points cannot be made up if you were not in class.
Cell phones
All cell phones are prohibited during exams. You may have cell phones in class when exams are
not given, but they must be on mute and not answered until the end of the exam.
Assignments and Project
Each assignment will be posted in Blackboard at least a week before its due date. All
assignments are individual work. Peer discussion (for assignments and project) is allowed but
plagiarism is not. Incomplete assignments or project will be accepted.
All assignments and project submitted must be computer generated. Your submission will be
graded based on the correctness of your answer, following directions, and clearness in logic.
Late assignment or project will be accepted with a 5% of deduction per hour late as penalty. Any
submission more than two hours late is not accepted or graded. For example, for an assignment
turned in 1hour 1 minute after the deadline, the penalty is 10% of the score for this assignment.

Code of conduct
Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and includes:
1. Plagiarism is a serious offence. Plagiarism is intentionally or knowingly presenting
words, ideas or work of others as ones own work. Plagiarism includes copying
homework or any other work that is not ones own.
2. Cheating during exams using unauthorized cheat sheets, copying from another, looking
at another students exam, opening books (during close-book exams), obtaining advance
copies of exams, and having an exam re-graded after making changes.
3. Use of unauthorized study aids, such as cell phones, Internet, or any other materials
prohibited by the instructor, during close-book exams.
The University has very clear guidelines for academic misconduct, and they will be enforced in
this class.
