Attendance

Attendance at lectures is mandatory in order to succeed in this class. Attendance will not be taken, however we expect you to be present and on time. Experience has shown that excessive absences will adversely affect your final grade. If you must miss class, it is your responsibility to get the notes from a classmate.

Assignments

The course will include regular assignments as well as more complex milestones. Assignments are submitted individually; milestones are submitted within teams. A milestone will contain a number of tasks. Students will be given a longer period of time to work on milestones, which will give them enough time to read in depth about the tasks that they are required to develop and actually implement them.

Teams

Each team will contain a maximum of 5 students. Each team is responsible for the task organization for each milestone.

Team Members Evaluation

After the deadline of the milestone, each student will be required to present the work that he did. The TA will a have a checklist for each task in the milestone and will ask each student in a team about his work. If a student fails to verify his contribution in the milestone he will be given a warning. A student who receives two warnings will be automatically expelled from the course.

Grading Policy

The grading will be based on the milestones and tasks that are delivered by each team. Each student in the team will be graded according to the tasks that he did in each milestone. At the end of the course, the students will be required to make a complete presentation of their project, where the final grade for each student will be finalized.

Academic Honesty (Plagiarism)

The work submitted for grading must be your own work. It is reasonable to discuss with others possible general approaches to problems. It is unreasonable to work together on a detailed solution, to copy a solution, or to give away a solution. Such instances of academic dishonesty may result in a course grade of Fail. Submitting a work that is not your own work is considered academic dishonesty.

Disability Statement

If you have a need for disability-related accommodations or services, please inform your instructor. Reasonable and effective accommodations and services will be provided to students if requests are made in a timely manner, with appropriate documentation.
