  If you own a Mac laptop, you are required to bring it to each class meeting and use it for hands-on learning instead of using an iMac computer in the classroom, which is reserved for those students who do not own a Mac laptop.
Medical Extension
  Extension is granted based on a letter from a doctor substantiating that the student is unable to conduct the coursework due to a medical condition. The grade of Incomplete is given only for medical reasons based on a letter from a doctor.
Honor System
  The Virginia Tech Undergraduate Honor Code pledge, that each member of the university community agrees to abide by, states: “As a Hokie, I will conduct myself with honor and integrity at all times. I will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor will I accept the actions of those who do.”

Students enrolled in this course are responsible for abiding by the Honor Code. A student who has doubts about how the Honor Code applies to any tutorial app, assignment, exam, or project is responsible for obtaining specific guidance from the course instructor before submitting the work for evaluation. Ignorance of the rules does not exclude any member of the University community from the requirements and expectations of the Honor Code.
