Grades may be adjusted upwards or downwards at the discretion of the instructor in special circumstances. For example, an extremely bad failing grade on the final exam could be the basis for a reduction of the final grade.
If you have questions about the grading of any assignment, exam, or lab, please see me. It is possible that I have made a mistake in grading or in adding up the total score. I will not deduct further points as the result of any such discussion.
You are expected to work individually on assigned programs and problem sets, though discussion of high-level design issues (e.g., discussion of what your program is expected to do and how it relates to material covered in class) is allowed. Design of the code itself (e.g., what classes are needed, what methods to provide for each class and what parameters and return types these methods will have) and the actual coding should be done individually. If you are allowed to work in teams for certain assignments, the rules for individuals will apply to teams in that case.
As is typical in programming, you may at some point require assistance in finding errors in your program. After you have made a good-faith effort to solve such a problem, ask a friend for help or go to the instructor. "Help" in this context means help in determining what is wrong. You are responsible for fixing the problem.
