Assignment

There will be a quiz/homework/weekly assignment to complete. Some of them will be due in a week and some of them in two weeks. You have the option to work and submit the homework in pairs for all the assignments except two which you will do individually.

Submitting an assignment

Instructions for turning in assignments will be posted when the semester starts (in e-campus (집현캠퍼스)).

Getting help

For questions about homework, course content, installation, and after you have tried to troubleshoot yourselves, the process to get help is: Post the question in e-campus (집현캠퍼스)/group chat and hopefully your peers will answer. Note that in e-campus (집현캠퍼스) questions are visible to everyone. For private matters send an email to helpline: udin [at] sju [dot] ac [dot] kr.

Course Policies

Collaboration policy

We encourage you to talk and discuss the assignments with your fellow students (and on e-campus (집현캠퍼스)), but you are not allowed to look at any other students assignment or code outside of your pair. Discussion is encouraged, copying is not allowed.

Late day policy

Homework is due before each class. Late submission are not allowed.

Communication to students

Class announcements will be through e-campus (집현캠퍼스). All homework and quizzes will be posted in e-campus (집현캠퍼스). Also all feedback forms. Important note: make sure you have your settings set so you can receive emails from e-campus (집현캠퍼스).

Academic honesty

We give a strong emphasis to Academic Honesty. As a student your best guidelines are to be reasonable and fair. We encourage teamwork for problem sets, but you should not split the homework and you should work on all the problems together.
