Course Policies

  • Attendance: Expected at every lecture. More than 3 unexcused absences lowers your participation grade by one letter.
  • Late Work: Homework accepted up to 48 hours late with a 15% penalty. No late submissions after 48 hours.
  • Technology: Bring a laptop to Friday lab sessions. PostgreSQL and DBeaver must be installed by Week 2.
  • Communication: Use the course forum for technical questions. Email the instructor for personal matters only.

Academic Integrity

All submitted work must be your own. Collaboration on homework is encouraged for discussion, but each student must write and submit their own solutions. Plagiarism or unauthorized collaboration will result in a zero on the assignment and referral to the Dean of Students.
