Cooperation Policy
Students are encouraged to discuss the concepts and
principles amongst themselves. Such discussions help in
understanding the material and/or different aspects of the
topics taught in the class. However, student cooperation
should not result in identical or near identical
answers/code/documentation. ALL THE MATERIAL
SUBMITTED FOR GRADING MUST BE YOUR OWN
EFFORT.
If this policy is violated then the following steps will be
followed:
1) For the first time, all students involved in such a violation will be
given reduced points.
2) If such a behavior is observed for the second time then all the
involved students will get ZERO points.
3) If the behavior persists for the third time then an official action will
be pursued against all concerned students.

Tips Before the class starts!
CSCI 230 is the first programming class in CS
The 1st language is very important
Build your interest in programming and enjoy it: treat
programming as a challenge and fun!
Do not miss any classes/labs and always remain in
synchronization with the class/lab
Work hard
Understand concepts
Don’t put off your project/homework till the last minute
before the due
Stuck in-between some point?  take break, relax or do
something else, and then come back
You have to utilize your own intelligence and find a
gateway to learn computer
