Because of the WI designation, writing assignments (including technical essays assigned as homework and project documentation assigned as part of the final project) will together constitute a minimum of 40% of the grade. You must adequately complete all writing assignments in order to pass the course with a grade of D or better. (W3)

By default, grading will use the standard cutoffs of 90% (A), 80% (B), 70% (C), 60% (D), but the instructor may revise these percentages downward.

Academic Dishonesty

All occurrences of academic dishonesty will result in a grade of 0 for the assignment or exam, and in a memo in your ICS department file describing the incident. Should there be more than one memo of this type in your file, the incident will be referred to the Dean of Students. Disciplinary sanctions range from a warning to expulsion from the university, as seen at: UH Systemwide Student Conduct Code.
