TIP102 Course Policy

Be present.

• Attendance at all sessions is mandatory.
• All students are allowed up to 3 absences throughout the entire program. Students do not need to submit a request to use these absences.
• We check attendance multiple times throughout a class session and may mark you as absent if you are missing for a significant portion of the session.
• Students who are absent must still submit the coursework for a unit by the posted deadline

Participate.

Class Sessions

• Students are expected to actively attend and participate in each session. 
• Camera and microphone usage is required as part of active participation. Students are required to have their cameras on and verbally respond during breakout room sessions in order to be considered present for the session.

Assignments

• Students are required to submit one HackerRank assignment each week at the end of the unit. These HackerRanks are for you all to be able to log lots of practice, get your own scores, and become very familiar with HackerRank screens.
• Students are required to submit every assignment.
• All students are allowed up to 2 deadline extensions of 48 hours to be used on 2 separate assignments. Students do not need to submit a request to use these extensions; they will be automatically applied.
• Students must submit all assignments before the deadline or deadline extension in order to stay actively enrolled in the course. Students are not allowed to have any missing assignments at any point during the course.

Communicate.

• Students are placed in pods with the same peers and coach throughout the entire course run. Practice professional courtesy and let them know 24 hours in advance if you will not be attending the class session.
• If you have an extenuating circumstance that affects your attendance or assignment submission, please email support@codepath.org.
• If you have technical difficulties that require your HackerRank to be reset, please email support@codepath.org before the deadline or your submission will still be counted as missing.
