Statement of Academic honesty

You are all adults. You are expected to follow the university's code of academic conduct (you know, the honor code). Furthermore, as researchers-in-training, we expect that you understand proper attribution and the importance of intellectual honesty.

As your grade will depend upon a group project, we not only permit collaboration, we require it. Most importantly, each member of a group is expected to participate fully in the development and execution of that group's project. Your final project grade will depend not only on the group's performance but on evidence of your individual contribution.

Grading

Your final grade is made up of two major components: a group project with various milestones, and class participation.

Class Participation

This class is built in large part around discussion and active participation. As such, you are expected to come to class having critically examined any assigned material. Come to class prepared to offer and defend your own view. Note carefully that there are actually two parts to this requirement. First, you must come to class. Second, you must participate in the discussions and oral assignments. Those who do both can expect full credit for class participation.

Project

The semester-long project has several milestones and deliverables:

• Informal sign-off on projects: quick OK on the project idea

• Proposal: a short oral presentation by the group

• Proposal package: presentation slides, short written report, web page

• Group discussion session: group-led APIE tasting.

• Informal progress reports: very short oral progress report

• Presentation: an oral presentation of the project's results by the group

• Presentation package: presentation slides, group report, individual reports (signed by all members), code, poster, final web pages

• Demonstrations: show us the system does something

Numbers

Component		Weight
Participation		10%
Project		90%	*

^*That's not the whole story. Your actual project grade is the product of the grade for the project and a score from 0.0 to 1.0 for actually contributing something to the success of the project. As with class participation, those who are actively involved should expect full contribution credit.
