Policies
Scribing
Each lecture, one or two students will be appointed to take notes during the lecture. After class they should combine their notes, and write them up in a more polished document which will be shared with the class. Every student must scribe at least once, more of needed.
Group Work
Assignments will include both written and programming assignments. You are encouraged to work on the programming assignments with your classmates. The contributions of each student must be explicitly described.
Late Policy
In general, no late assignments are accepted. However, you have two grace days for the entire semester. This means you can be late by one day for two assignments, or use the two days up for one assignment.
Submission
Homework should be submitted through the Moodle web site.
Programming assignments will have specific submission instructions included with the handouts. Please follow the submission instructions exactly as written!
Cheating and Plagiarism is unacceptable
You are free to discuss assignments and solutions with others. However, you must write your own assignments, and must not represent any portion of others' work as your own. Assignments found to have plagiarized will be given a grade of -100%.
