Class Policies
• GRADES. The passing grade is 60%(transmuted to 75).
No conditional failures will be given.
• EXAMS. No make-up exam will be given. If you miss the
long exam, the average of the other two exams will
replace this missed exam. Present proof of your reason
for missing the exam. Missing two exams means you will
be dropped from the course.
• MACHINE PROBLEM. Specification for the project will
be be given as the class progressess. Deadlines set for
the DBMS project requirements and deliverables are
absolute. Failure to comply or sublmit on the set

• Academic Honesty
Under all circumstances, students are expected to be
honest in their dealings. In class assignments, students must
submit work that fairly and accurately reflects their level of
accomplishment . Any work that is not product of the student's
own efforts is considered dishonest. Academic dishonesty
includes, but is not limited to, the submission of any work not
actually produced by the student submitting the work; failure
to cite the words or ideas of another in a work submitted,
including information obtained on the Internet; and obtaining
from another student answers to examination, test, or quiz
either within or outside the examination is given. Penalties for
academic dishonesty may include a failing grade (5.0) in the
course or appropriate disciplinary action.
