Academic Honesty Guidelines
"Academic honesty is essentially giving credit where credit is due. And not misrepresenting what you have done
and what work you have produced. When a piece of work is submitted by a student it is expected that all
unquoted and uncited ideas and text are original to the student. Uncited and unquoted text, diagrams, etc.,
which are not original to the student, and which the student presents as their own work is considered
academically dishonest."

Useful Suggestions
- When sending emails to the instructor or TAs, please indicate "CSE 3213" in the subject line (e.g., "CSE
3213 - 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.
- Attend the lectures! The lecture notes give only outlines of the lectures. Details and additional information will be explained and discussed in class.
- This course is heavy! Read the lecture notes and textbook before and again right after each
lecture. Do the assignments and suggested homework problems to reinforce your understanding of the lecture
materials.
