Collaborations & Academic Integrity

Honor Code: Academic Honor Code instituted by the Students of Georgia Tech applies in this class.
Collaboration:

The commentaries and summaries of readings HAVE TO BE DONE ON YOUR OWN WITHOUT ANY COLLABORATION. I am looking for insight here, not a rewrite of the abstract/conclusions.
Discussions on projects is allowed, however, the solutions to the problems sets and projects have to be done individually. In case of discussions in groups, please specify to me who were the members of the group that came to the submitted solutions and explain your contribution explicitly. Be prepared to defend it.

Late Policy

In essence there is NONE. You are in graduate school remember. However, here are a few guidelines/choices

Critiques/Summaries/Commenatary:

You are allowed to miss 2 out of 10 of these for the entire quarter. Each summary equals 3% of the grade.
These wll be due before class on the WWW page as descibed below. If the summary does not appear before the time when WWW pages are uploaded to the WWW server, then it will count as one of your skipped summaries

Absolutely NO extension on Projects. Due dates of these will be specified

How to submit reports/summaries

This whole class will be conducted on the WWW. All summaries and reports have to submitted via the WWW pages.
On the first day of class, everyone will be shown how to set up a WWW page of their own and then will be shown how to set up a directory on their web pages (classes/cs7100/) for this class. The reports and summaries will be written in html (using your favorite HTMLeditor) and linked to your WWW page.
WARNING: The College of Computing WWW server is updated everynite so to get your report online by class time, you will have to finish your report the night before.
