Also includes the social context of computing (risks, liabilities, intellectual property and infringement).\n",
    "\n",
    "This semester, we will be exploring the creative aspects of coding as a context for learning the above concepts. You will exercise your creativity by designing programs in a language called, __Processing__. Processing is a new language/environment built upon the programming language Java and Javascript. Processing was created by artists, designers, and computer scientists to explore ideas of creative coding sing computer algorithms. We will also cover a variety of other topics, from bioinformatics to robotics. We will cover much of the entire text during this semester. "

    "Attendance and active participation are expected in every class. Participation includes asking questions, contributing answers, proposing ideas, and providing constructive comments.\n",
    "\n",
    "As you will discover, we are proponents of two-way communication and we welcome feedback during the semester about the course. We are available to answer student questions, listen to concerns, and talk about any course-related topic (or otherwise!). Come to office hours! This helps us get to know you. You are welcome to stop by and chat. There are many more exciting topics to talk about that we won't have time to cover in-class.\n",
    "\n",
    "Although computer science work can be intense, please stay in touch with us, particularly if you feel stuck on a topic or project and can't figure out how to proceed. Often a quick e-mail, phone call or face-to-face conference can reveal solutions to problems and generate renewed creative and scholarly energy. It is essential that you begin assignments early, since we will be covering a variety of challenging topics in this course.\n",

    "## Grading\n",
    "\n",
    "There will be about seven assignments, weighted equally in the final grading.  Assignments must be submitted according to the Assignment Submission instructions.  You should pay careful attention to the <a href=\"http://cs.brynmawr.edu/Courses/cs110/spring2015jt/codingStandards.html\">Code Formatting Standards</a> and <a href=\"http://cs.brynmawr.edu/Courses/cs110/spring2015jt/gradingPolicy.html\">Grading Policy</a> when doing your assignments.

    "\n",
    "Incomplete grades will be given only for verifiable medical illness or other such dire circumstances.\n",
    "\n",
    "## Submission and Late Policy\n",
    "\n",
    "All work must be turned in either in hard-copy or electronic submission, depending on the instructions given in the assignment.  E-mail submissions, when permitted, should request a \"delivery receipt\" to document time and date of submission.  Extensions will be given only in the case of verifiable medical excuses or other such dire circumstances, if requested in advance and supported by your Academic Dean.\n",

    "**No assignment will be accepted after it is past due.**\n",

    "\n",
    "## Exams\n",
    "\n",
    "There will be two exams in this course.  The exams will be closed-book and closed-notes.  The exams will cover material from lectures, homeworks, and assigned readings (including topics not discussed in class).\n",

    "## Study Groups\n",
    "\n",
    "We encourage you to discuss the material and work together to understand it. Here are our thoughts on collaborating with other students:\n",
    "\n",
    "* The readings and lecture topics are group work. Please discuss the readings and associated topics with each other. Work together to understand the material. We highly recommend forming a reading group to discuss the material -- we will explore many ideas and it helps to have multiple people working together to understand them.\n",
    "* It is fine to discuss the topics covered in the homeworks, to discuss approaches to problems, and to sketch out general solutions. However, you MUST write up the homework answers, solutions, and programs individually without sharing specific solutions, mathematical results, program code, etc.  If you made any notes or worked out something on a white board with another person while you were discussing the homework, you shouldn't use those notes while writing up your answer.\n",
    "* You should not show your code to other students before it is submitted. After it has been submitted, we will share and demonstrate code.\n",
    "* You may discuss high-level code ideas with others.\n",
    "\n",
    "If you have any questions as to what types of collaborations are allowed, please feel free to ask."
