why?

Canada’s IT industry will be more than 100,000workers short by 2016, thanks to growing skillshortages that affect as many as 60 per cent of allbusinesses, according to a report recently releasedby IBM Corp.

Prerequisites · One of COMP1405/1005, ECOR1606, or SYSC1005.

Note · COMP1406 is a prerequisite for both COMP2401 andCOMP2402. However, there is a further condition thatyou must receive at least a C- in COMP1406 in order toproceed to either COMP2401 or COMP2402.

Evaluation · Your final grade will be made up from four components:

Q Quizzes 10%A Assignments 40% ?

M Midterm Exam 15%F Final Exam 35%

9 / 17


Evaluation · You must pass the weighted average of your midterm andfinal exam in order to pass the course. Your final gradewill be determined using the following:

/* Q - quizzes grade [0,10] *//* A - assignment grade [0,40+] *//* M - midterm grade [0, 15] *//* F - final exam grade [0, 35] */

if (M+F >= 25) thenfinal grade is Q+A+M+F

else // (M+F < 25)final grade is 2*(M+F)

9 / 17


Quizzes · There will be six in-class pop quizzes during the semester.One in each week starting the week of July 8.

Each quiz will be worth 2 marks and your best five out ofthe six quizzes will be used to compute your overall quizgrade at the end of the term.

Make sure you have a piece of paper and pen/pencil withyou in class.

Collaboration · Use good judgement

It is OK to:

· Discuss possible approaches to and interpretations of an exercise.· Help debug another student’s program.· Post questions on the class forums. (I strongly encourage this!)· Answer questions on the forums. (without posting solutions)

It is NOT OK to:· Share working code or code fragments.· Write code in groups and then share the finished code.· Post questions on forums besides our Piazza page.· Post complete or partial assignment solutions on Piazza before thedue date.

· Take credit for another student’s work

Plagiarism · We will be looking for this in your submissions

· If you copy code from any source (another student, your sibling, theinternets, a book, etc.) other than yourself it is plagiarism.

· if you copy code from any source other than yourself and changevariable names it is still plagiarism.

· if you copy code from any source other than yourself and add orremove blank lines it is still plagiarism.

· if you copy code from any source other than yourself and you do notgive proper credit (citation) is plagiarism.(Sometimes, starter code is permitted in assignments; these must becited properly.)
