Course & Instructor Policies:
(1) Examinations: There will be two exams (midterm and final exams) during the class. The exams will be closed book. The tests will be limited to material covered during course slides, assignments, and textbook.
(2) Homework: There will be four assignments. Homework is due as assigned. Scholastic integrity will be enforced. All assignment submissions will be due on the specified date before class. No late submission.
(3) Group Projects: There will be one group project and 1-2 students for each group. Copying project and source code from other students in this class or obtaining a solution from some other source will lead to an automatic failure for this course and to a disciplinary action. In this case, you may be given a score of 0 for the assignment or project in question (and the other party will get a failure). No late submission.
(4) Grades will be posted on the Canvas.
(5) If there is any special case, please inform the instructor in advance.
