Next: Lecture Notes and Further Up: Special/Advanced Topics in Algorithms Previous: Course Outline
There will be approximately four assignments. Each assignment will ask you to solve a problem or research an existing solution for a problem. A proper report (including references as appropriate) will always be a deliverable for an assignment and may be published on the course's Web site (so that you have to release it under the site license). Selected assignments may also require a class presentation.
Graduate students should expect one additional (and complex) assignment and on occasion additional questions in the regular assignments.
A 80-minute long mid-term test will cover roughly the first two topics in the course, while an equally long final examination will cover the rest of the course. All the written tests are open-book.
The assignments will account for 60% of your final grade, while the two written tests will account for 20% each.
Academic dishonesty: Any form of academic dishonesty will result automatically in zero marks for the respective test and may be further pursued according to the departmental and university regulations on the matter.
Should you require special accommodations because of a disability, please come and discuss this with me at the begining of the term. I will not take into consideration requests made on or after the day in which the first assignment is released. You must also contact the Student Accessibility & Accommodation Services to obtain authorization for any special arrangements.
