Policies

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.

Submission

Homework should be submitted through the Moodle web site.

Programming assignments will have specific submission instructions included with the handouts. We will use a certain amount of automatic grading to help us deal with the massive amounts of code everyone submits, so 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 been plagiarized will be given a grade of -100%.
