CS433: Course Policies

Academic Integrity

All violations of the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity are taken very seriously.
You must follow the policies of the Computer Science Department and Cornell University.
We use sophisticated programs to detect software plagiarism, including plagiarism of past year's assignments. Any cases of plagiarism will not be tolerated, and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.

You can meet with the course instructor or the TAs without an appointment during their office hours. If you need to meet outside of the office hours, first set up an appointment using email.
Besides meeting the instructor or TAs during office hours, the best way to get questions answered is using the course newsgroup. The TAs will monitor the newsgroup, and will answer your questions within 24 hours on weekdays, and within 48 hours on weekends.
If you have a specific question that cannot be publicly posted, send email to cs433ta-l@cs.cornell.edu. Do not send direct emails to TAs for they are not obliged to respond to such emails.

Assignments can be done individually, or in groups of two. However, we strongly recommend that you team up with another person (otherwise you will be doing double the work for no extra credit). Both members of the group will receive the same grade for these assignments.
You can choose a different partner for each group assignment if you wish. You can form groups using the course management system linked off the course web page.
All assignments will have to be handed in using the course management system. The deadline for assignment submissions is 11:59pm on the day the assignment is due.
No late assignments will be accepted. You will get 0% of the grade for an assignment if you do not turn it in by the due date at the specified time. All assignments are handed out well in advance of the due date, so there will be no exceptions.

Students can view their grades using the course management system.
Students can request regrades using the course management system. Regrade requests have to be submitted within 7 days after the graded assignment is handed out. There will be no extensions.
