CS-450: Fall 2009 Documents and Announcements

  1. Important guidelines
    1. Exam dates: The mid-term exam is on 27 October, and the final exam is on 17 December, and you must attend both. There will be no alternative exam dates!
    2. Homework collaboration: All homework must be done individually by the submitting student. You may not collaborate with other students, and you may not submit the work of others (for example, from previous semesters) as your own. I take the honor code seriously!

      1. All mobile phones must be turned off for the duration of the lecture -- no exceptions!
