Grading:
  • There will be two quizzes in class during the term and a final exam.  All exams are closed book.
  • There will be weekly homework assignments posted on the web.  Students are free to discuss these assignments but the write-up must be independent work.  Solutions to homework will be linked to the assignment.  Homework is due Friday, lecture time. No late submissions allowed.
  • The course grade will be determined by counting the two quizzes (roughly) 40%, final exam 45% and homework 15%.
  • Grading complaints should be directed to the grading czar Pantaleo "Leo" DeCandia during a week after receiving a grade.
Related Course: In the first few weeks, you may switch between the CS381 and CS 481 courses.
Newsgroup: There is a newsgroup cornell.class.cs381 established for this course. It is intended for discussing CS381 related topics, interesting problems (but NOT homework solutions), complaints, suggestions etc. Be sure we read it! :-)
