CSE 505 -- Assignments, Exams, and Grading

Readings:

• Programming with Constraints: An Introduction, Kim Marriott and Peter Stuckey. (This will be used for the constraint languages part of the course, and is recommended rather than required. There are two copies on reserve in the Engineering Library.)
• Various papers, to be distributed during the quarter. We'll be asking students to write a one or two paragraph summary of these, to be posted on a web discussion area for the class.

Exams

• Midterm and final (see the 505 schedule for times. These will be in class, open books and notes.)

Course Project

• 10-15 page paper on a language issue of student's choosing, and presentation in class. The project can either just involve reading and discussing papers, or can also have an implementation component. You choose the topic (we'll give some feedback on your initial proposal). Students may work individually or in pairs (somewhat more work will be expected from a pair).

Grading scheme

• midterm 15%
• final 25%
• project 25%
• homework 25%
• reading reports 10%
• Up to 10% extra credit for project presentations
