Requirements

Reading
Read the chapters before class. We will not read the textbook to you during class. Rather, we will help you better understand certain materials in the textbook.
Class participation
You are required to participate actively in the classroom discussions.
Communications
  • Read your email and the forum at least once in any 12 hour period (including weekends and holidays), as I may post important announcements there.
  • Post all questions (except private, sensitive ones) on the forum so that everyone can reply and read the replies. You may not post anonymously. Do not send email to the instructors or TAs.

Policies

Late homework

-

For programming section: you must submit all your homework solutions to the gradebot: we cannot accept homework solutions in any other way. The gradebot enforces deadlines strictly. We never accept late homework submission in any circumstances. Since we hand out homework several weeks before its deadline, you should allocate sufficient time and allow for contigencies.

Academic integrity

We enforce academic integrity strictly. If you participate in any form of cheating, you will fail this course immediately. Examples of cheating on homework include (but are not limited to) the following:

where other people means all the people other than you for individual homework, and all the people outside your group for group homework. They include people outside this course.

Feedback

We always welcome any feedback on what we could do better. You are also welcome to send us feedback anonymously if you like.
