Policies

If any of the following policies are violated, there is the possibility of entering a probationary period at the discretion of the instructor and campus director.

Attendance

Absences and timeliness - You can miss up to 4 lectures; after that, your enrollment in career support is forfeit. I don't recommend missing any, as we will be moving very fast! Also, please show up on time. We count 2 lates as an absence. All I ask for is general respect of the crew and class so that we can learn without constant hiccups and interruptions!

Homework

Late or incomplete homework - Your homework is due by 9 AM on the assigned day. After that, it is late. If you miss homework assignments, come talk to me, because I know problems and emergencies can happen. However, you will be required to make up for late/incomplete assignments, so don't fall behind! I would rather see a solid attempt on time than a complete assignment late. Solid attempts are not considered late!

Honor code

Honor - You are expected to do your own work. If you don't, why are you here? You should use all resources available to you, including open-source code, but copy and pasting open-source code is prohibited: you should use it only for inspiration or as a library in a bigger project. Copying homework is taken very seriously and can result in forfeiting career support.

Code of Conduct

  1. The Academy is dedicated to providing a harassment-free educational experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. The Academy does not tolerate harassment of students in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any Academy venue. A student violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the Academy without a refund at the discretion of the Academy.

  2. Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of lectures or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Students asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

  3. If a student engages in harassing behavior, the Academy may take any action it deems appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the Academy with no refund.

  4. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the Academy immediately.
