Check back every now and then for updates.
Prereq:
CMPE 220 or CMPE 202 or Instructor consent. Students who do not provide documentation of having satisfied the class prerequisite and co-requisite requirements (if any) by the second class meeting will be dropped from the class.
New Prereq check procedure
We will adopt a new procedure (akin to that used by some of the other engineering departments):
At the beginning of the term, have all the students in the class provide a copy of their transcripts, with the prerequisite class grade highlighted. The instructor will then check off against the roster, and drop any and all students who do not provide such proof of having completed the prerequisite with a satisfactory grade.
For classes with co-requisite requirements (such as CMPE 110), the student will provide the transcript (proving that the class has already been passed) or a printout from MySJSU (proving that the student is currently enrolled). Add the following to the class greensheet: ”Students who do not provide documentation of having satisfied the class prerequisite and co-requisite requirements (if any) by the second class meeting will be dropped from the class.

Students should know that the University’s Academic Integrity Policy is available at http://sa.sjsu.edu/judicial_affairs/faculty_and_staff/academic_integrity/index.html.

Instances of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated. Cheating on exams or plagiarism (presenting the work of another as your own, or the use of another person’s ideas without giving proper credit) will result in a failing grade and sanctions by the University. For this class, all assignments are to be completed by the individual student unless otherwise specified. If you would like to include in your assignment any material you have submitted, or plan to submit for another class, please note that SJSU’s Academic Policy F06-1 requires approval of instructors.

Title
Mobile Application: Compute My Grade
Admin
Form a group of 3 or 4 people to complete this mini project.
Description
Based on the knowledge you gain from lab exercieses in class, this project gives you more hands-on development opportunity in a team environment. Minimum requirements for the project is as follows:
Extra Credits
Extra features can be implemented in the project for extra credits. Here are some of the ideas:
Check grade at my.sjsu. Grade will be not be given via email.
The university and departmental policies and deadlines for course drop will be applied. Makeup exams cannot be offered, except under exceptional conditions, such as documented serious illness/accident, etc., and only at the professor's discretion.
Each student is responsible for his/her individual assignment, and must not copy anyone else's work. Students who borrow solutions from others will find themselves unable to pass the course. The minimum penalty for every student involved in the duplication of individual assignments or exams will be receiving a zero score on the submitted work.
For group project, all the work has to be done by your OWN group. Do not try to download "free code" from the Internet and hand in as a project. WE WILL FIND OUT. Do not share your work with others. So DO YOUR OWN WORK and EARN your grade.x
