In Class Activities (ICAs) are opportunities for students to try new concepts as they are presented in class. They will be awarded a score on a scale of 0 to 100 points.
As the name ICA implies, students are expected (and encouraged) to complete the ICAs in class. In some situations, students are permitted to turn in their ICAs after class ends, but no later than 11:59 pm on the day of the class. Your instructor will tell you if this is the case for a specific ICA.
ICAs are graded on a 100 point scale. If an ICA is turned in on or before its due date it is on time. ICAs turned in later are automatically assigned a 20 point penalty, no matter what the reason. ICAs may not be turned in more than three days late. These ICAs get a grade of zero.
ICAs that use code (syntax, techniques, etc.) explicitly forbidden by the style guide will automatically receive a grade of zero. Students are expected to construct their own solutions using the programming features and elements provided in the style guide.
ICA completion and class attendance are typically interrelated. Students who are not present in class will find the ICAs difficult to complete.
At the end of the semester, the instructor will drop the lowest two ICA grades for each student.
Policy on Generative AI
Generative AI tools (i.e. ChatGPT) should NOT be used in this course. Using code that is not taught in 2402 will result in the student receving a zero on that particular ICA.
