Mr. Gossin is the TA for CSE 140L. All e-mail inquiries regarding CSE140L should be addressed to Mr. Gossin only. Questions of wide interest and their associated answers will be posted on the web. Attendance at discussion session scheduled as follows and conducted by Mr. Gossin is also required.

Thursday, 6:00p - 6:50p, CENTR 216

There will be five (5) labs required for this course. They will be due in 1 week intervals. Additionally there is going to be a final exam for CSE140L, testing the proficiency that you have acquired in your lab course. There will be no make-up tests given for any reason. To get credit for the exam, attendance during the scheduled time period is required. No make-up tests will be available.

All labs are due at 1:00 PM on Mondays following the week the lab is given out. We will continue to accept labs until 1:00 PM of the following Wednesday; late labs though incur an automatic penalty of one third of the total points. After Wednesday 1:00 PM, no more lab reports can be accepted; any labs turned in after Wednesday 1:00 PM receive a grade of zero.

Sometimes you get a grade that you don't like, either because I added up the points wrong or because you think I evaluated you wrongly. If you believe that a regrade is needed, tell me immediately. You can appeal the grade you received until the next lab due date. After that I will assume that you believe the grade that you received is the correct one.

Integrity:
"Statement of Academic Integrity: Students are expected to do their own work, as outlined in the UCSD Policy on Academic Integrity published in UCSD General Catalog. Cheating will not be tolerated, and any student who engages in suspicious conduct will be confronted and subjected to the disciplinary process. Cheaters will receive a failing grade on the assignment or the exam and/or in the entire course. They may also be suspended from UCSD."

Cheating WILL be taken seriously. It is not fair to honest students to take cheating lightly, nor is it fair to the cheater to let him/her go on thinking that is a reasonable alternative in life. Don't test me on this one!
