[Logistics and Policies] [Homework Guide] [Reviewing Guide]

Formatting and Metadata: Homeworks must be submitted as pdf documents (one per group), with a separate page for each problem, or in the text box provided in Canvas. Include the assignment and problem number at the top, to help correct mixups. Do not include group member names, Submissions must be typed. LaTeX or Markdown is recommended. For more information on LaTeX, see the LaTeX Hints page.

Integrity Guidelines: Both students must contribute to the solution of all problems. Pairs should submit one typed copy of each problem to its corresponding assignment submission in Canvas. You may consult your text book and course notes when answering homework questions; you must not consult the Internet, other people, or other students other than for help with LaTeX. Any cheating cases caught will be addressed according to the university's policy on academic integrity violations. More importantly, you will not learn the material, your exam grades will suffer, you will not do well on job interviews, etc.

Proofs: When a problem calls for an algorithm, unless otherwise specified, you must prove the correctness and runtime of your algorithm. Depending on the problem, proofs of correctness and runtime can be the bulk of the grade.

Grading: Both students in a group will receive the same grade.

Peer review: Mandatory peer reviews will be assigned and graded. Students will conduct peer reviews individually (not as a group). Peer reviews are to (a) give your peers very quick feedback about the quality of their solutions and (b) assess your ability to tell good solutions from bad solutions. Your peer reviews will be graded for accuracy and appropriateness by the TA.
