Statement of Academic honesty

You may collaborate as much as you want on the homework assignments; during exams you may not so much as daydream about working with someone else; and on the programming projects, your submitted solutions must reflect your own work.

For the projects, do not copy from others or let others copy your work; however, you may think of the TAs as your close collaborators. Feel free to go to them with any problems that you are having. That's why they are there.

For any solution, you must cite all of the resources you relied on for coming up with your answers. This includes web pages, publications, people, and so on, other than the textbook, instructor, and TAs. You need to abide by the academic honor code of Georgia Tech.

Readings and Lectures

Lectures are meant to summarize the readings and stress the important points. You are expected to come to class having read the current chapter. Your active participation in class is crucial in making the course successful.

Grading

Your final grade is divided into four components: projects, a midterm, a final exam, and class participation.

• Homework. We will post textbook-style homeworks with short questions. We will not collect or grade your solutions; however, solving these problems is important because they ensure that you have understood the material and are prepared for the exams. If you can answer these questions, you should have a good chance of doing well on the exams.

• Projects. There will be five graded projects. As noted above, your solutions should reflect your own work.

• Midterm. There will be a written, open-book midterm. The exam will be in class.

• Final Exam. There will be a written, open-book final exam at the scheduled time.

• Class participation means attending classes, participating in class discussions, asking relevant questions, volunteering to provide answers to questions, and providing constructive criticism and creative suggestions that improve the course or the textbook.

All graded assignments are due by the time and date indicated. The only exceptions will require: a note from an appropriate authority and immediate notification of the problem when it arises. See the TA responsible for the project if such an exception arises.
