Lecture Attendance
You are expected to attend all lectures. However, you are all adults and I do not feel that it is necessary to explicitly track attendance. If you skip a lecture and don't understand the material, that's your problem.

Grading (Tentative)
  • 20% Homework (4 HW @ 5% each)
  • 20% Midterm
  • 30% Project
  • 30% Final
Undergraduates (CS4290) and grad-students (CS6290) will be curved independently.

Homework (Including Problem Sets and Projects)
All work in this course is to be done by the individual student. Collaboration with other students or other persons (for example, a friend at another institution) is prohibited. Submitting any work other than your own is a violation of the Academic Honor Code. Note that this is different from discussing lecture material (such as re-explaining an idea covered in class in a different manner or with a new example, or discussing what is being asked in a homework problem). Anything involving the course material is fair game (includes lectures, notes, the textbook, and the homework descriptions).

Late Policy
All homeworks are due on the day specified by the problem set and posted online. Homework will be handed in at the start of class on the day that the assignment is due. No late homeworks will be accepted without an official exemption.

Project
There will be some simulator hacking as part of this course. The early get-your-feet-wet mini-labs will simply be integrated into your homework. There will be a final project for the course.

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.
