Assignments: COMPSCI 314 Semester 2, City Campus

• Assignments for COMPSCI 314 are to be submitted in the Web Dropbox.
• Your marks will be posted to Cecil.
• You should submit assignments if at all possible. Not only do they help you understand the course and prepare for the exam, but a missed assignment is likely to drop 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 2 weeks of the assignment being returned. We don't look kindly on people who complain after the exam that their assignment 1 was lost.
• Missing assignments can make it very difficult to grant an aegrotat or compassionate pass if you have misfortune around the time of the examination.
• Questions similar to assignments often seem to reappear in the final examination ...

The Department of Computer Science has a general policy on cheating and plagiarism, within the University policy on academic honesty. Briefly, if we detect material in assignments or projects that appears to be copied from elsewhere without due acknowledgement, we will normally give zero marks for that assignment or project. Appeals must be in writing to the Head of Department (not to the lecturer).

Warning
A few years ago in COMPSCI 314, eleven students achieved an assignment mark of 0 (zero) because of cheating and plagiarism on an assignment. In 2010, a number of students lost marks on Assignment 1 due to unacknowledged cut-and-paste from web pages.
