  • 推荐：算法设计与分析。

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和期末考试成绩综合得出。
  • 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由你完成。允许讨论，但作业必须独立完成，并在作业中列出所有参与讨论的人。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。
