Instructors may revoke credit for Participation Projects if, in their sole determination, the student was not making a good faith effort to participate in the class and complete the assignment.

Students may be assigned into groups of 3 to 4 students to conduct peer evaluations of each others' Participation Projects. Peer evaluations are to be conducted on at least 3 projects of each group's choosing during the semester. Students should provide copies of their completed files to their group members for the projects on which peer evaluations will be conducted. Peer evaluations are to be completed using a rubric included at the end of each Participation Project's instructions. Peer evaluators should evaluate the student's overall performance on the project and note any errors they find in the student's work. Evaluations should be completed and provided to the student being evaluated within 10 calendar days of when the Participation Project being evaluated was due.

Due Dates

CS101 is not a self-paced course. Homeworks, Exams, MyLab Lessons, and MyLab Extra Credit Projects are due on the dates shown below.

Participation Projects are due as listed on each instructor's Assignments page.

Participation Projects due dates are not listed on the above schedule as they are not announced in advance. A listing of previous Participation Projects is on your instructor's Assignments page.

Schedules showing the content being taught each week are posted on your instructor’s website.

Grading and Feedback

Grades and detailed feedback are posted to the CS101 View Grades page. Students should review grades as soon as they are posted. Grades may be appealed within 7 calendar days of when they are posted by contacting your instructor. After this time, grades are final. All grades for MyLab Extra Credit Projects and late MyLab Lessons work are final and may not be appealed.

Grades and feedback for Homeworks and Exams will generally be posted within 10 class days of when the assignments were due. Official grades for MyLab Lessons and MyLab Extra Credit Projects will generally be posted to the CS101 View Grades page within 7 calendar days of when the assignments are due, although MyLab IT's evaluations and unofficial grades will be available in MyLab IT immediately after the assignments are completed. Participation Projects grades will be updated at least once per unit.

Technical Problems and On-Time Completion

Students are responsible for completing and submitting their assignments on-time, regardless of any problems they encounter. Extensions will not be provided because of technical problems. Start your work early.

To reduce the likelihood of problems, students are encouraged to use the CS101 Learning Center or a WVU-maintained computer to complete their work.

If you encounter problems in completing your work, please immediately notify your instructor. You should also contact Pearson Tech Support for MyLab IT issues. Notifying your instructor does not absolve you of the requirement to complete your assignments on-time.

Accessing Assignments

Homeworks and Participation Projects will be posted on each instructor’s website. Instructions for accessing Exams will be provided at the time of the test.

MyLab Lessons and MyLab Extra Credit Projects are available in MyLab IT.

Submitting Assignments

Homeworks, Exams, and Participation Projects are submitted through the Submit Assignments tool. Participation Projects for in-person sections must be submitted from a CS101 lab computer.

MyLab Lessons modules are automatically submitted when the entire module is complete. They can also be manually submitted from within the simulation.

MyLab Extra Credit Projects must be submitted from within MyLab IT. Students have two attempts for each MyLab Extra Credit Project. Credit will be given for the highest scoring attempt.

Assignments must be fully submitted under the correct assignment to receive credit. Students are responsible for ensuring their correct work was successfully submitted. All applicable late penalties will be applied for late submissions or submissions of missing work.

Work Retention

Students must retain copies of all submitted Homeworks and MyLab Extra Credit Projects. Online students must also retain copies of their submitted Participation Projects. Files must be secured so that nobody else is able to access them.

Academic Integrity

The integrity of the classes offered by any academic institution solidifies the foundation of its mission and cannot be sacrificed to expediency, ignorance, or blatant fraud. Therefore, the instructor will enforce rigorous standards of academic integrity in all aspects and assignments of this course.

For all assignments except Participation Projects, students must work independently by themselves. Sharing of files is not permitted for any reason. Unless otherwise instructed, students must start working from a new blank file for each assignment.

For Participation Projects only, instructors may authorize groups of students to work together. Sharing of files is only permitted within the group.

CS101 strongly discourages students from allowing others to use their computers or from using other students' computers to complete their work. There are a number of academic integrity violations each semester where one student took another's files because they were easily accessible. If a student does not have their own computer, we suggest using a computer in the CS101 Learning Center or in the WVU Libraries where security protections are in place to prevent one person from accessing another's work.

Violations

Examples of academic integrity violations include but are not limited to:

• Working with another person on any assignment other than authorized group Participation Projects.
• Sharing or allowing others to access your files, whether done with permission or not. You are responsible for protecting your files to ensure no one else can access them.
• Use or possession of a file created by someone else. Do not reuse even blank files.
• Reusing work from another semester, course, or section.
• Fraudulent submission of work.
• Using unauthorized materials, using unauthorized devices, or communicating with others during Exams.
• Unauthorized use, possession, or access of assignments.
• Use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, GitHub Copilot).
• Disregard of exam time limits.
• Submission of a project different than what was assigned for your section.
• Impersonating someone else or having them impersonate you.
• Making fraudulent or dishonest statements regarding your work.
• Soliciting or allowing others to complete work for you.
• Posting course files and resources on study or content sharing websites.
• Plagiarism.

Penalties

A range of penalties is possible for academic integrity violations. The Office of Academic Integrity will be notified of all suspected academic integrity violations, which will be noted in your WVU record. Their office determines penalties, but at a minimum, students can expect to lose all credit for the assignment in question and be assigned additional educational sanctions. Subsequent violations generally result in harsher penalties. Suspension, expulsion, fines, and fees may be levied. Honors College policy to disassociate from honors students who have been found responsible for a violation.

Students with academic integrity violations are not eligible for any extra credit, including the MyLab Extra Credit Projects.

Additional information on WVU’s academic integrity policy is available in the West Virginia University Academic Catalog. If you have any questions about this policy or if an activity is allowed, it is your responsibility to check with your instructor beforehand.

This academic integrity policy continues to be in force even after you complete Computer Science 101. Post-completion penalties may be enforced through modifications to the final grade recorded on your transcript.

Policy Acknowledgment Form

All students must complete the online Policy Acknowledgment Form to receive credit for their work. Credit may not be granted for work due prior to when this form is completed.

Course Policies

Attendance and Engagement

For in-person and synchronous online students, regular attendance is important to learn the material covered in CS101. You are responsible for any work or content missed if you do not attend class. While not directly a component of your grade, attendance is tracked for in-person and synchronous online sections. Students must sign-in during class to record attendance.

For asynchronous online students, regular engagement is important to learn the material covered in CS101. You are responsible for checking the course website and your e-mail regularly, and for completing any readings, activities, or assignments assigned by your instructor. We do not directly grade or have any requirements for student engagement interaction beyond completing the required assignments (Homeworks, Participation Projects, MyLab Lessons, and Exams).

Course Communication

The CS101 websites and your MIX e-mail account are the primary means through which we distribute information. It is your responsibility to check them daily.

When e-mailing your instructor, please be sure to identify your name, your course section, and clearly explain your question or concern. To ensure you are easily understood, please write in standard English.

Your instructor generally will respond to e-mails within 48 hours. While you may frequently receive same-day responses, they are not guaranteed and should not be expected. Please plan accordingly so you do not miss deadlines.
