Your academic success is important. If you have a documented disability that may have an impact upon your work in this class, please refer to the Student Accommodations Policy and notify the instructor ASAP. Students may schedule their exams in the testing center if they are eligible to receive extra time per their accommodations. Students must provide documentation of their disability to the Office of Accessibility Services in order to receive official University services and accommodations. They are located in Savitz Hall and can be reached at (856) 256-4259. The staff is available to answer questions regarding accommodations or to assist you in your pursuit of accommodations.
Plagiarism and cheating in ANY form is considered academic dishonesty and will NOT be tolerated in any of your classes.
Students are encouraged to share ideas and consult with other approved resources. However, all submitted work (except group work as determined by the instructor) is expected to be fully comprehended and completed individually. Work may NOT be referenced or copied in whole or in part from the Internet, book, another student, unauthorized resources (including Chegg, CourseHero, or other similar sites), etc... and allowing others to view or copy your work is also NOT permitted. Students must also observe the instructor's written and verbal directions in ensuring the integrity of all academic work, including but not limited to securing mobile devices during exams as well as using only authorized resources for additional help.
Generative AI is prohibited in this course and is also considered a violation of the academic integrity policy.
The purpose of the assignments is to help you develop key skills and to assess whether you have mastered the course learning objectives for your continued success. Generative AI (such as ChatGBT, Gemini, CoPilot, watsonx, etc...) or other unauthorized tools will defeat that purpose and misrepresent your mastery of the material. Using ANY generative AI without instructor permission, accessing prohibited resources, receiving unauthorized assistance, and posting course materials online are all considered violations. Students committing any act of academic dishonesty may fail the assignment, fail the course, or face other sanctions. If you have questions regarding what resources may be allowed or how academic integrity applies in the course, please contact the instructor and review further strategies regarding Academic Integrity at Rowan University.
Accessing, utilizing, sharing, or posting any course work/materials using unauthorized resources is strictly forbidden.
It is the student's responsibility to be fully familiar with the Rowan Academic Integrity Policy and the Student Code of Conduct. Students will be held accountable to firmly adhere to these policies. By the act of assignment/assessment submission, it will be assumed all students thereby affirm their understanding that they may neither receive nor provide any unauthorized assistance with the completion of their work. The CS Academic Integrity Self-Test concluding with the CS Department Academic Integrity Pledge may also be required to be completed as confirmation of understanding and acceptance of the given policies
All suspected academic integrity violations will be reported via the Report of an Academic Integrity Violation (RAIV) Form and will result in penalties that may include a failing grade and/or probation, suspension, or expulsion from Rowan.

Rowan University and its faculty and staff are committed to assuring a safe and productive educational environment for all students.

University faculty and staff members are required to report any instances of sexual misconduct or harassment, to the University’s Title IX Coordinator so that the appropriate resources and support options are provided.
