Course materials
成绩 Grades
- 课程成绩:本课程将会有若干次作业和一次期末考试。最终成绩将由平时作业成绩 (≥ 60%) 和期末考试成绩 (≤ 40%) 综合得出。
- 迟交:如果有特殊的理由,无法按时完成作业,请提前联系授课老师,给出正当理由。否则迟交的作业将不被接受。
学术诚信 Academic Integrity
学术诚信是所有从事学术活动的学生和学者最基本的职业道德底线,本课程将不遗余力的维护学术诚信规范,违反这一底线的行为将不会被容忍。
作业完成的原则:署你名字的工作必须是你个人的贡献。在完成作业的过程中,允许讨论,前提是讨论的所有参与者均处于同等完成度。但关键想法的执行、以及作业文本的写作必须独立完成,并在作业中致谢(acknowledge)所有参与讨论的人。不允许其他任何形式的合作——尤其是与已经完成作业的同学“讨论”。
本课程将对剽窃行为采取零容忍的态度。在完成作业过程中,对他人工作(出版物、互联网资料、其他人的作业等)直接的文本抄袭和对关键思想、关键元素的抄袭,按照 ACM Policy on Plagiarism的解释,都将视为剽窃。剽窃者成绩将被取消。如果发现互相抄袭行为, 抄袭和被抄袭双方的成绩都将被取消。因此请主动防止自己的作业被他人抄袭。
学术诚信影响学生个人的品行,也关乎整个教育系统的正常运转。为了一点分数而做出学术不端的行为,不仅使自己沦为一个欺骗者,也使他人的诚实努力失去意义。让我们一起努力维护一个诚信的环境。
