Course Grading

For CIS 460 NC the noncredit is a tuition-free class in which both credit and class grades are not assigned. All assignments will be available the entire course, however to master advance concepts such as JavaScript you have to work at a steady pace and perfect beginning skills before attempting intermediate tasks.

For CIMW160 credit version of the class, course grade consists of assignments, and quizzes. Make sure you forward or check your Saddleback e-mail at least twice a week. When sending e-mails, make sure you include JavaScript in subject line. Academic Integrity is critical to passing this course. Academic Integrity is critical to passing this course. Using AI to pass the complete work is a violation of academic integrity. Failure to abide by academic integrity can result in a failing grade. For further information on academic integrity consult UCSD Professor Elkan's Written Description., AI policy and cim site policy.

  2. You think you did something right, and I think you did it wrong.

If you discover a clerical error, tell me immediately. The following Statute of Limitations will apply: You have one week from the day any graded assignment or test is returned to you to appeal the grade you received. After one week, I will assume that you believe the grade you got is the correct one. After one week, grades are unchangeable, fixed, and permanent
