Fall CSCI 3550 Syllabus Addendum

This course is governed by my general syllabus with the following updates.

In-Person & Remote Schedule

Students will be expected to attend class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday promptly at 9:00AM. Attendance will be taken. Due to COVID restrictions, students will only be able to attend in-person once a week. The other days students will be expected to attend the course remotely during the assigned course time.

Since the course will be taught across three days a week instead of two, the duration of class times will be shorter than the standard 75 minutes. The first 35 minutes of class will be dedicated to instructional material. At the end of the first 35 minutes of class those attending remotely will be dismissed. For those attending in-person, the remaining 40 minutes of class will be in-class lab time with the instructor.

Students will be assigned into one of three groups: A, B, and C, with the following attendance requirements:

Group/Weekday Monday Monday Time Wednesday Wednesday Time Friday Friday Time
Group A In-Person 9:00AM-10:15AM Remote 9:00AM- 9:35PM Remote 9:00AM- 9:35PM
Group B Remote 9:00AM- 9:35PM In-Person 9:00AM-10:15AM Remote 9:00AM- 9:35PM
Group C Remote 9:00AM- 9:35PM Remote 9:00AM- 9:35PM In-Person 9:00AM-10:15AM

Student group assignments will be posted on Canvas.

Other Fall 2020-Specific Changes:

  • Additional office hours will be held from 10:30 to 11:45 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

  • When students attend the course remotely, they are expected to do so in a professional manner. This includes turning their cameras on, and, if they choose to use a virtual background, to use one that is neither animated nor distracting to others. If students are unable to attend remotely using a camera, they should contact their instructor.

  • The Bachelor of Science Information Systems (BIS) and Bachelor of Science Computer Science (BCS) Programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This organization requires that we keep samples of student work. Unless you specify otherwise, I may retain your exams and assignments for accreditation purposes and return a copy to you.
