Structure

Instructor: Alex C. Snoeren, snoeren at cs.ucsd.edu.
Office hours: TR 9:00-10:00am in EBU3b 3114, or by appointment.

There is no textbook for this course. The course material will come from the lectures and conference papers that will be handed out over the course of the term. You are expected to read the papers before coming to class, as they will serve as the basis of class discussion. Lectures will be interactive, and class attendance is highly encouraged.

Grading

Grade for this class will be based on:
  • Homework & Participation 30%
  • Programming projects 40%
  • Final 30%
No late assignments will be accepted. Exceptions for documented medical emergencies, death of an immediate family member, or other such life-altering situations must be requested from the instructor as soon as possible.

Collaboration policy

All homework and programming assignments must be completed individually. You must write all solutions and code that you submit, excepting any code that was provided to you as part of the assignment. You may discuss the assignments with others, but you may not copy answers or code from another student or make your code available to others. Exams will be individual effort and closed book.

Each student is responsible for knowing and abiding by UCSD's policies on Academic Dishonesty and on Student Conduct and the Jacobs School Student Honor Code. Any student violating UCSD's Academic Dishonesty or UCSD's Student Conduct policies will earn an 'F' in the course and will be reported to their college Dean for administrative processing. Committing acts that violate Student Conduct policies that result in course disruption are cause for suspension or dismissal from UCSD.

Don't cheat. It's not worth it.
