Questions and Answers

General assignment advice

  • Assignments for COMPSCI 314 are to be submitted on paper to the appropriate submission boxes in the basement lobby.
    Electronic submission is not appropriate for most assignments.
  • You should submit assignments if at all possible.
    A missed assignment usually drops your final result by one grade.
    While a drop from B to B- might be a point of honour, a drop from C- to D+ may be quite serious.
  • If you have questions about assignment marks, lost results and so on, these should be raised within say 2 weeks of the assignment being returned.
    I do not look kindly on people who complain after the exam that their assignment 1 was lost.
  • Missing assignments it can make it very difficult to grant an aegrotat or compassionate pass if you have misfortune around the time of the examination.
  • Questions from assignments often seem to reappear in the final examination........

Cheating and Plagiarism

The Department of Computer Science has instituted a general policy on cheating and plagiarism.
Briefly, if we detect material in assignments or projects that appears to be copied from elsewhere,
we will give zero marks for that assignment or project.
Appeals must be in writing to the Head of Department (not to the lecturer).
You may read the official statement of the Departmental policy.

Warning
Already in 2004, 11 314 students have achieved an assignment mark of 0 (zero) because of cheating and plagiarism.
And that is only the first assignment ...
Make that 13 for the semester.
