Announcements

Check back every now and then for updates.

Prereq:

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.

 

General:

Bring a computer to class. You will need that for lecture assignment.

Policy Info

Academic Dishonesty

This is just a reminder that ALL cases of academic dishonesty (plagiarism, cheating, etc) should be reported to the chair.

In order be fair to the students we have to maintain a uniform process for handling such cases - there really is no faculty discretion once a case of plagiarism or cheating has been discovered - ALL cases will be reported.

The most relevant Senate policy w.r.t this is S07-2. The policy defines academic dishonesty as follows (please note the very low tolerance definition of plagiarism):

1.1 CHEATING
San José State University defines cheating as the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Cheating includes:

1.1.1. Copying, in part or in whole, from another’s test or other evaluation instrument including homework assignments, worksheets, lab reports, essays, summaries, quizzes, etc.;

1.1.2. Submitting work previously graded in another course without prior approval by the course instructor or by departmental policy;

1.1.3. Submitting work simultaneously presented in two courses without prior approval by both course instructors or by the department policies of both departments;

1.1.4. Using or consulting sources, tools or materials prohibited by the instructor prior to, or during an examination;

1.1.5. Altering or interfering with the grading process;

1.1.6. Sitting for an examination by a surrogate, or as a surrogate;

1.1.7. Any other act committed by a student in the course of their academic work that defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding others in any of the actions defined above.

1.2 PLAGIARISM
San José State University defines plagiarism as the act of representing the work of another as one's own without giving appropriate credit, regardless of how that work was obtained, and submitting it to fulfill academic requirements.

Plagiarism includes:

1.2.1 Knowingly or unknowingly incorporating the ideas, words, sentences, paragraphs, or parts of, or the specific substance of another's work, without giving appropriate credit, and representing the product as one's own work;

1.2.2 Representing another’s artistic/scholarly works such as musical compositions, computer programs, photographs, paintings, drawing, sculptures, or similar works as one's own.

Term Project

Title

Cross Domain Chat Protocol Design Project

Description

The goal of the project is to give you explosure on real life development environment and network programming and design experience on the web. There are two parts into the term project. Part 1 is an individual part performed by one student and part 2 is a group part performed by four group members. The name of the project is called Cross Domain Chat Protocol Design.

Part 1 - User Portal (individual part)

Create a user portal in the form of a web site. This user portal allows a self-service creation of a USER. Each user can create a ROOM and starts a chat session with other USER from the same user portal (domain). Here is a list of rerquirements:

Part 2 - Cross Domain Chat Protocol Design

Form a group of 4 and create a mechansim that allows 4 user portals to create a real time chat session among real web sites. In other words, USERS from a web sites can invite other USERS from the same web site or different web site to join a ROOM. You must define and implement your own communication protocol for this cross domain communication. Besides, as a group you must decide the following:

More info will be provided in the semester.

 

Grading

Project team has to decide on various issues such as:

As the whole class will be working on similar projects, relative grading will be used. In other words, all the projects will be ranked within the class and points will be assigned accordingly. There are two parts in the project:

 

Handin

Project Part I consists of a document includes the following:

Project Final Part will be covered later in class

 

Final Word of Warning

This is not an "easy" class and the project is an essential part of the overall grade. People who did not deliver the project well enough could really hurt their grade as the project contains more than 40% of the overall grade.

Avoid:

General Policy

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.
