Test and Exam Policy
- You are allowed to miss a test/exam only under extraordinary circumstances.
- If the reason is sickness, your doctor must fill in the
Attending Physician's Statement form. Only this form, completely and properly filled, will be accepted.
- There are NO make up tests. The weight of a missed test will be transferred to another test or the final exam.
- In this course, all assignments, tests and exam are individual work. Plagiarism and cheating are not tolerable.
Useful Suggestions
- When sending emails to the instructor or TA, please indicate "CSE 2031" in the subject line (e.g., "CSE 2031 - Lecture notes unreadable"), or they may be deleted by mistake as
spam. Include your name and student ID in the email.
- For questions related to course materials, it is best to
ask during lectures or office hours. Email is not a good way to explain course materials.
- Read the lecture notes and textbook before and again right after each lecture. Work on the posted lab exercises before coming to the scheduled lab sessions.
