There are no required textbooks for the course, but the following texts are useful as references:
Your course grade will be determined approximately as follows:
This course has a unusually flexible late work policy: the deadline for any homework assignment and the project proposal can be extended up to seven days without penalty. For example, you may turn in Homework 1 up to seven days late without penalty, and then turn in Homework 2 up to seven days late without penalty, and so on. You do not need to tell us that you are using one of these normal extensions.
The detailed project specification may be turned in up to two days late without penalty.
The project checkpoint and the final project presentation must be completed at their assigned due date. You may not use any extensions for the project checkpoint or final presentation.
We might grant additional extensions for extremely unusual circumstances (such as your hospitalization and/or death) but the request for such an extension must come from your faculty advisor or dean.
You should read and abide by the University Policy on Academic Integrity and Plagiarism.
For homework assignments, you are encouraged to talk with and share ideas with other students, including examining and critiquing others’ solutions. You must independently create and turn in your own unique work. In particular, you may not copy another student’s files or let another student copy your files. You may use external resources (books, internet sites, etc.) as references, but you may not copy files or code from external resources, and you must clearly cite any external resources you use.
You are encouraged to collaborate with your partner and with other students for your course project. All project deliverables, however, must be completed by you and your partner. You may not copy another project’s documents or code for your project solution, or use substantial external code or documents obtained from any third party such as an internet site.
The minimum penalty for violating this policy will be a zero grade for the assignment in question, and all cases will be referred to the appropriate university disciplinary board. Be warned that the university disciplinary actions for cheating can be very harsh, especially in response to cheating by a graduate student. Even a first-time cheating offense can result in dismissal from the university without your degree.
This course includes a very flexible Late Work Policy, and if you run out of time you should turn in your half-completed work or show us a half-complete demo for partial credit rather than cheat in this course. There is no reason to cheat in this course.
Please ask me if you have any questions regarding the course collaboration policy.
