| Other Info | Log on to Web Board and introduce yourself to the class.
Set up your access to your NJIT AFS and Prophet accounts. Prophet can be found at http://prophet.njit.edu/isqlplus Technical Support Students must keep up with assignments and discussions on Web Board. In addition, all technical support will be by mutual support on Web Board. I will not solve your coding problems for you. A critical skill in this course is defining problems and seeking solutions. Follow this link: Web Board The lectures for this course are also provided on CD-ROM as PowerPoint presentations and as rm files with audio lectures. Most assignments have the most frequently encountered problems from previous students explained in the back of the relevant lecture. Help using AFS, Limpid, and Unix is also available here: Unix Help NJIT students may download the lectures from this web site, or send a check or money order for $15 made out to George Blank to: The Object Oriented Professor 239 Fox Hill Road Denville, NJ 07834 Viewing these presentations requires either PowerPoint or a PowerPoint viewer, available free from the Microsoft Web Site.download Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer NOTE: All students please log in to Web Board and introduce yourself to the class. Also, it is important to verify your access to the Prophet database. You should have received an email with a user name and password when you registered for the class.

Note that the honor code indicates four levels of severity for offenses. I support the honor code, and attempt to follow it, sometimes at great personal expense. In one case, I had to delay summer employment for three weeks to gather evidence and cooperate with the honor court. MY POLICY: I will always refer serious cases of premeditated cheating to the honor court. Serious cases (level 1 and 2) include bringing notes into an exam that are intended to be disguised. For lesser severity cheating, I will apply the same sanctions that are in the honor code, usually the least severe sanction, getting a zero grade on the exam or assignment. Any time I do this the student may ask to be judged by the honor court instead, and I will grant that request. |
