Late and Make-Up Policies:
|
No late homeworks, labs, quizzes, or exams are accepted in this class. Any
requests for exceptions to this policy due to incapacitating illness, death
in the family, or something similarly serious must be accompanied by supporting
documentation. Caution: the preprinted note from the infirmary stating that you
visited the infirmary is not sufficient documentation.
|
Academic Conduct and Misconduct:
|
The homework assignments and labs in this course are not intended
to be collaborative exercises, but on the other hand we don't want to
discourage discussion between students about ideas pertaining to this
course. So, if you incorporate ideas into your homework assignments or
labs that did not originate with you, or did not come from the obvious
sources -- your instructor, teaching assistants, textbooks, lectures,
or supplementary reading materials provided in this course -- you must
give credit to your sources. Furthermore, at no time is it acceptable
for you to share your solutions to the homework assignments with other
students, whether these solutions are complete or partial, nor is it
acceptable to compare your solutions with other students. You are not
to work on these assignments in groups, whether on paper or at the
computer. Of course, there is to be no collaboration whatsoever during
exams. Students who fail to follow these rules will be charged with
academic misconduct. The likely penalty for academic misconduct in this
class is to fail the class, and you could even be declared ineligible
for a degree in computer science. If you haven't already done so, you
should take the time to become familiar with Georgia Tech's definition
of academic misconduct and the policies and procedures pertaining to
academic misconduct. This information can be found in the 1999-2001
general catalog on pages 336-343.
