Prerequisites
Additional Regulations
- The late penalty for class projects is 10% per day. No projects are accepted more than 10 days late. An exception to this penalty requires documentation submitted through the office of the <a href="https://offices.depaul.edu/student-affairs/about/departments/Pages/dos.aspx" target="_blank">Dean of Students</a>. Such documentation must be submitted on or before the date the the project is due. Even if an exception to this policy is granted, the late penalty may be reduced, but it will not be not entirely eliminated.
- No late assignments will be accepted after the Sunday following finals week, 11:59pm.
- All projects must be submitted on D2L.
- An incomplete is hard to get in CDM. It is usually only allowed for a major illness (typically requiring hospitalization) or a death in the family. In any case documentation is required, which must be submitted to the Dean of Students Office.
- More than one half of the work must be completed for the course for a student's incomplete request to be considered.
- If you have trouble submitting any project, email the completed project to the professor to prove that you completed it on time, then submit the assignment on the D2L system as soon as possible.
- Students in the in-class section that must miss an exam must contact the professor before the exam is given to the in-class section to reschedule the exam.
- Students in the online section must register to take the midterm and final exams on D2L.
- Attendence counts 10% of your grade. Students in the in-class section get credit by attending class, so study logs do not apply to them. Students in the online section get credit for attendence by submitting weekly study logs to the StudyLogs dropbox on D2L. (There is only one dropbox for the entire quarter to which you should submit one study log per week.) Study logs are due on each Sunday night for the preceding week and are subject to the same late penalties as projects.
In your study log, itemize what you did in the preceding week to study for IT 212, including watching the recorded lectures, the materials that you read, the examples that you ran, the quiz that you took. What did you find easy; what did you find difficult. What questions did you have? Estimate the number of hours that you spent on each item in your study log.
- Submitting a wrong version is not a reason to waive a late penalty for a project.
- Class registration is not allowed after the first week of class.
- Students must keep backup copies of all submitted projects.
- Extra credit assignments are not given.

Evaluations are a way for students to provide valuable feedback regarding their instructor and the course. Detailed feedback will enable the instructor to continuously tailor teaching methods and course
content to meet the learning goals of the course and the academic needs of the students. They are a requirement of the course and are key to continue to provide you with the highest quality of teaching. The
evaluations are anonymous; the instructor and administration do not track who entered what responses. A program is used to check if the student completed the evaluations, but the evaluation is completely
separate from the student’s identity. Since 100% participation is our goal, students are sent periodic reminders over three weeks. Students do not receive reminders once they complete the evaluation.
Students complete the evaluation online in CampusConnect.
