Lectures
Attendance will not be taken, but please note that there is a participation
component to your final grade (see grading below)
Feel free to bring a snack or a drink to lecture, just be sure to clean up
after yourself. I understand that this is a late afternoon class and that
some of you will want some form of caffeine. :-)
Grading
- Project - 50%
- Participation - 15%
- Homework - 20%
- Midterm Exam - 15%
Participation
Class participation counts for 15% of the final grade. Note that this component
is specifically for the case-study classes where we will discuss and
debate the merits and faults of actual processors (Nov 1 - Dec 1).
Homework (Problem Sets, NOT Projects)
All homeworks are to be done by the individual student. No collaboration with other
students or other persons (for example, a friend at another institution) is permitted.
Submitting any work other than your own is a violation of the Academic Honor Code.
Late Policy
All homeworks are due on the day specified by the problem set and posted online.
Homeworks should be handed in in class on the day that the assignment is due.
However, I will accept with no penalty any homeworks I receive on the due date
after class before I leave for the evening. That is, you may choose to submit
the homework later, but if I happen to leave earlier than you anticipated, then
your homework will not be accepted. If for some reason you cannot make it to
class on the day a homework is due, it is your responsibility to make arrangements
for the homework to be submitted (hand in early, get someone else to hand it in, etc.).
Project
The project can be conducted by groups of two students or by a single student.
Note that if two students decide to team up, the scope of the project must also be
considerably larger and more ambitious. Project presentations will be given in
the last week of class: 15 minutes per person (which means a team of two must
give a combined 30-minute presentation). For the projects, students are encouraged
to discuss ideas and help each other out.
... however, all code must be your own, and you must understand every line that you wrote. So
even if someone else helps you to implement something or debug a problem, you still
need to understand what is going on in your code.
Exams
Absolutely no collaboration at all. Copying or receiving any other information
from another person or their exam, with or without their consent, is unethical
and unacceptable. Cheating is a direct violation of the GT Academic Honor Code and
will be dealt with accordingly.
Ambiguities, Clarifications, Questions?
If you're unsure about anything, just ask the professor and/or consult the Academic
Honor Code at www.honor.gatech.edu.
