  Happy Summer!

• 7/21: FINAL EXAM is scheduled on August 2^nd (Monday); same time, same place - 07:30-09:00PM 306 State Hall. The exam covers all chapters of the course book (except Ch 2 and Ch 13), the Perl (Ch 1-7, Ch 9, Ch 10 ), LISP (Ch 1-3) and Prolog (Ch 1-3) tutorials. The exam sample questions will be provided today during the class.
• 7/21: PROGRAMMING PROJECT is due on July 28^th (Wednesday) as a demo. Everyone should signup for the demo. Please, read additional information.
• 7/21: PROJECT DISCUSSION postings do not provide complete solutions, but some ideas and possible approaches. You should not rely on the provided Perl code without checking its correctness. Also, provided code may not work for the general problem, but for a particular case.

Homework assignments and project

Course load and grading

Late work penalty

• Assignments must be submitted before class starts by the due date.
• Assignments turned in after that time will be considered late and will lose 25% credit.
• The project cannot be submitted late. No projects will be accepted for grading after the due date.
• No assignment will be accepted for grading after 1 week late.
• Students must not co-work (unless you are specifically advised this as part of the project) or copy another student's work. Assignments found to be similar will be given the grade of 0 (zero).

Academic honesty

Copying an assignment from another student in this class or obtaining a solution from some other source will lead to an automatic failure for this course and to a disciplinary action. Allowing another student to copy one's work will be treated as an act of academic dishonesty, leading to the same penalty as copying. You should learn how to protect your data. Failure to do so is also unprofessional and it may expose you to the danger that someone will copy your homework and will submit it as his or her own (see above). In this case, you may be given a score of 0 for the assignment in question (and the other party will get a failure).
