Cheating

I expect students to abide by the honor code and to be examples of what BYU represents. Any student who cheats could be subject to any or all of the following: a) failing the class in which the cheating took place, b) being suspended from enrolling in any computer science class for a minimum of one year, and c) being reported to the honor code office.

Preventing Sexual Harassment

Harassment of any kind is inappropriate at BYU. Specifically, BYU's policy against sexual harassment extends not only to employees of the university but to students as well. If you encounter sexual harassment, gender-based discrimination, or other inappropriate behavior, please talk to your professor, contact the Equal Employment Office at 422-5895 or 367-5689, or contact the Honor Code Office at 422-2847.

Students with Disabilities

BYU is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to qualified persons with disabilities. If you have any disability that may adversely affect your success in this course, please contact the University Accessibility Center at 422-2767. Services deemed appropriate will be coordinated with the student and instructor by that office.

Children in the Classroom

The serious study of the physical and mathematical sciences requires uninterrupted concentration and focus in the classroom. Having small children in class is often a distraction that degrades the educational experience for the entire class. Please make other arrangements for child care rather than bringing children to class with you. If there are extenuating circumstances, please talk with your instructor in advance.

Department Systems Abuse Policy

Accounts on Computer Science Department computers are privileges to be used in conjunction with and in support of various related Computer Science classes. Abuse in any form will result in immediate suspension of your accounts. If an abuse involves violation of the honor code, you will be referred to University Standards. If an abuse invoves illegal activity, appropriate authorities will be notified. In either case, you will be immediately dropped from all Computer Science classes you are enrolled in. Some violations are punishable by expulsion from the University. Your keystrokes may be monitored and saved.

Examples of abuse of your account include:

  • Transfer or storage of pornographic or illegally duplicated material.
  • Use of your account to probe or crack security systems including passowrds or to intercept information intended only for others.
  • Sending mass, commercial, obscene, or harrassing email or usenet news posts.
  • Sharing your account or account password with anyone.
  • Misusing your lab priviliges, including game playing, and especially actions which could cause damage, such as rebooting a workstation without permission.
