- Evaluation: The grade will be based on a combination of the
homework (exercises, programming projects, and reports on AI systems),
the quizzes, and the
final. Roughly 50% homework, 25% quizzes, 25% final.
- Late Problem Sets: Late problem sets may be turned in until
the homework is graded and returned. 10% off per day late.
- Late Programs: Late programs can be turned in till the "Late Deadline"
given. 20% off for the first week and then 10% per day late.
- Cheating Policy: Collaboration is a very good thing, but cheating
is considered a very serious offense. Please don't do it! The individual
work you turn in should not look like anyone else's.
Concern about cheating creates an unpleasant environment for everyone.
If you cheat, you risk losing your position as a student in the department
and the college. The department's policy on cheating is to report any
cases to the college cheating committee.
