Class Mailing List

The mailing list (cse521@cs.washington.edu) is used to communicate important information that is relevant to all the students. Make sure that you are registered to it, by visiting this page.

The mailing list is also a very useful tool for collaboration and interaction between students. You are encouraged to post questions, thoughts, and ideas, that you believe would interest your fellow students.

Messages to the mailing list are stored in the archive.

Academic Integrity and Collaboration

You are allowed to collaborate with your classmates to the extent of formulating ideas. When it comes to writing up solutions, I will allow pairs of students to collaborate on the preparation and submission of a single joint written homework. Other than with your partner, if you choose to have one, no collaboration on the writing up of homework solutions is allowed. On the homework you submit, please include a list of all the people that you discussed the problems with. You may not consult written materials other than the course materials in coming up with your solutions. Needless to say, you are expected to maintain the utmost level of academic integrity in the course.
