Staying in Touch

The course mailing list is: cse573@cs.washington.edu. Sign up for it here:

https://mailman.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/cse573

Please use it as a resource to discuss issues about the course and the assignments with other students.  The TA and instructor will also be reading this list, so it is also appropriate for any question of a general nature.  You may also send email to Daniel or me directly with either general questions or questions about your own performance in the course.  The course home page is:

I encourage people to come to office hours.  You do not have to wait until you have a problem with an assignment.

Collaboration and Academic Honesty

In this class, you are expected to learn from each other, as well as the text and instructors. You may discuss the problem sets with other students, but you should write up your own solution to hand in. A good way to do this is to go off alone after any group discussions, put away any notes you took in the group, and then reconstruct the answers on your own. If you get help from sources other than other students in the class - such as articles or books other than the text - you should cite them in your writeup.
