To pass the course you must receive at least 35% (out of a hundred that is) on the final exam.
Assignments should be turned in by depositing them in the drop-box labelled "CSC 236" in BA 2220. They can be deposited in the drop-box any time up to the due time. Alternatively, assignments can be turned in early to the lecturer, e.g. in a class before the due date.
Assignments must be written on standard 8½x11" paper and fastened with a single staple in the upper-left corner. No envelopes, please; any fancy enclosure will be thrown out. Please use the supplied cover sheet, and please be sure to indicate your tutorial section so that your graded assignment can be returned to you.
Late assignments will only be accepted under exceptional circumstances and with a written explanation. To submit an assignment late, submit it in the usual way and then send the lecturer an e-mail message or bring him a note.
Any disagreements with the grade assigned to assignments or the midterm should normally be submitted to a TA or the lecturer within a week of its return. Regrading requests submitted after that might be taken less seriously unless we made a substantial grading error; as well, you then probably won't get your work back until the very last class.
Work submitted for regrading during the last two weeks of classes will not
be returned until after the final exam.
(You may wish to photocopy it first.)
Plagiarism is the representation of someone else's creative work as your own.
If you submit an assignment containing someone else's work, this constitutes
the academic offence of plagiarism and will be taken very seriously!
With course work, in which you
are expected to submit something on your own and thus cannot put a
collaborator's name on it,
the line
between collaboration and plagiarism becomes more difficult to draw.
Thus we will set the following guidelines:
Collaboration and plagiarism
I would like to encourage you to work on the course material with others,
but you must take care that it does not turn into plagiarism.
You may discuss general approaches to assignments with others, but you
may not bring your own actual solutions (complete or partial) to such discussions,
and you
must not take away any written notes from such discussions.
In particular, the final
write-up of your assignment must be done in isolation from others.
It is not difficult for graders to detect excessive collaboration.
Note that it is also an offence to assist others in committing plagiarism.
