Contacting the Staff

Class email
There is a class mailing list that will be used for important or late-breaking announcements. All students enrolled in CS110 are automatically subscribed to the cs110-spr0809-students@lists.stanford.edu mailing list. The list server is in touch with Axess and automatically includes everyone enrolled in the course. Because of this you should register ASAP for CS110 so you won’t miss any mailings.

Discussion Forum
We are using the Coursework discussion forum functionality for this course. The forum should be used for all course questions that don't require individual answers from the staff. If you have a question, other people probably have the same one (or should).

Staff email
The best way to ask course questions that aren't appropriate for the discussion forum is to mail the entire staff at cs110-spr0809-staff@lists.stanford.edu. That way the first one of the staff that sees it can respond.

Discussion Sections

Prerequisites

Exams

There will be an in class midterm exam on May 1st and a final in the normal final exam slot, Monday, June 8th at 8:30-11:30 a.m. The final exam will emphasize material not tested on the midterm, although it is technically cumulative and everything is fair game.

Grading

The course grading is divided between homework (programming and discussion assignments), one midterm, and a final exam. The approximate grade breakdown is:

• Homework 50 %
  
• Midterm Exam 15 %
  
• Final Exam 35 %

Late Policy

The class material builds on itself and getting behind is taboo, since it tends to impede progress on the following assignments. Late submissions will be assessed a penalty of 10% per day (24-hour period). Assignments will not be accepted more than five days after the original assignment due date. You get three free "late days" (24-hour periods) that you may use to extend the due dates of any assignment without penalty. Once all your free late days are gone, you can still hand work in late, but with the 10% penalty.

Honor Code

1. The Honor Code is an undertaking of the students, individually and collectively:
   (i) that they will not give or receive aid in examinations; that they will not give or receive unpermitted aid in class work, in the preparation of reports, or in any other work that is to be used by the instructor as the basis of grading;
   (ii) that they will do their share and take an active part in seeing to it that others as well as themselves uphold the spirit and letter of the Honor Code.
2. The faculty on its part manifests its confidence in the honor of its students by refraining from proctoring examinations and from taking unusual and unreasonable precautions to prevent the forms of dishonesty mentioned above. The faculty will also avoid, as far as practicable, academic procedures that create temptations to violate the Honor Code.
3. While the faculty alone has the right and obligation to set academic requirements, the students and faculty will work together to establish optimal conditions for honorable academic work.
