Administrative Home:
The Department of Computer Science in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences is the administrative home of this course and governs
matters such as the add/drop deadlines, the second-grade-only
option, and other related issues. Different colleges may have
different policies. Questions may be addressed to 120 Schaeffer
Hall or your academic advisor, or see the CLAS Academic Policies
Handbook at http://www.clas.uiowa.edu/students/handbook/.
The Department of Computer Science offices are in 14 McLean Hall
(MLH). You can contact the chair of the department through the
Departmental Secretary at 14 MLH or by calling 335-0713.
Electronic Communication:
University policy specifies that students are responsible for all
official correspondences sent to their University of Iowa e-mail
address (@uiowa.edu). Faculty and students should use this account
for correspondences (Operations Manual, III.15.2,
scroll down to k.11).
Accommodations for Disabilities:
A student seeking academic accommodations should first register
with Student Disability Services and then meet privately with the
course instructor to make particular arrangements. See www.uiowa.edu/~sds/ for
more information.
Academic Honesty:
All CLAS students or students taking classes offered by CLAS have,
in essence, agreed to the College's Code
of Academic Honesty: “I pledge to do my own academic work
and to excel to the best of my abilities, upholding the IOWA Challenge. I
promise not to lie about my academic work, to cheat, or to steal
the words or ideas of others; nor will I help fellow students to
violate the Code of Academic Honesty.” Any student committing
academic misconduct is reported to the College and placed on
disciplinary probation or may be suspended or expelled (CLAS
Academic Policies Handbook).
CLAS Final Examination Policies:
The final examination schedule for each class is announced by the
Registrar generally by the tenth day of classes. Final exams are
offered only during the official final examination period. No
exams of any kind are allowed during the last week of classes. All
students should plan on being at the UI through the final
examination period. Once the Registrar has announced the date,
time, and location of each final exam, the complete schedule will
be published on the Registrar's web site and will be shared with
instructors and students. It is the student's responsibility to
know the date, time, and place of a final exam.
Making a Suggestion or a Complaint:
Students with a suggestion or complaint should first visit with
the instructor (and the course supervisor), and then with the
departmental DEO. Complaints must be made within six months of the
incident (CLAS
Academic Policies Handbook).
Understanding Sexual Harassment:
Sexual harassment subverts the mission of the University and
threatens the well-being of students, faculty, and staff. All
members of the UI community have a responsibility to uphold this
mission and to contribute to a safe environment that enhances
learning. Incidents of sexual harassment should be reported
immediately. See the UI Comprehensive Guide on Sexual Harassment http://www.uiowa.edu/~eod/policies/sexual-harassment-guide/index.html
for assistance, definitions, and the full University policy.
Reacting Safely to Severe Weather:
In severe weather, class members should seek appropriate shelter
immediately, leaving the classroom if necessary. The class will
continue if possible when the event is over. For more information
on Hawk Alert and the siren warning system, visit the Department
of Public Safety website.
