Assignments

Assignments are due at the beginning (first 5 minutes) of the class on the due date, unless otherwise specified.
Late submission will be accepted if it is no more than 24 hours late, and will be penalized by 80%. After 24 hours late, submissions will not be accepted.

Collaboration Policy:

Solo assignments: verbal discussions are allowed but should be limited to general approaches and strategies. You can also use examples that are not included in the assigments in your discussion. In the end, anything you turn in must be created by you and you alone.
Team assignments: the above policy applies between teams.

If you have question regarding the collaboration policy, please raise the question before you start working on an assignment. The standard departmental rules for academic dishonesty apply to all assignments in this course.

Grading and Exams

Homeworks and projects: 55%
Midterm: 20%
Final: 25%

Regrading Policy
Any requests for regrading (assignments or exams) must be given to the instructor in writing accompanied by the assignment/exam. Such requests must be made within one week after the homework/exam has been returned. Please only submit a request when you observe what appears to be a clear error in the grading. Do not abuse this avenue.
