THE Principle
Taking any unfair advantages over other class members is not allowed. It is everyone’s respon- sibility to maximize the level of fairness.
eating? fine, but no smells and no noise sleeping? fine, but no snoring
cellphone? fine, but silent mode, and speak outside ...
applies to instructor, TAs, students
Honesty
NO CHEATING NO LYING NO PLAGIARISM
very very very very serious consequences
Grade
homework (best * 1.5 + worst * 0.5 + others), midterm, final supplementary reference: participation in discussions
raw score goes through some order-preserving normalization steps
raw score 80 with term rank A: possible raw score 80 with term rank B: possible raw score 60 with term rank F: possible
raw scores 80, 60 with term scores B, B: possible, but unlikely raw scores 80, 60 with term scores F, B:impossible
from the principle: no individual score change
Collaboration and Open-Book
homework discussions: encouraged but fairness?
write the final solutions alone and understand them fully references (books, notes, Internet):
consulted, butnot copied from no need to lend/borrow solutions
to maximize fairness (everyone’s responsibility), lending/borrowing/buying/selling not allowed
Collaboration and Open-Book
to maximize fairness (everyone’s responsibility), lending/borrowing/buying/selling not allowed to maximize fairness (everyone’s responsibility), lending/borrowing/buying/selling not allowed to maximize fairness (everyone’s responsibility), lending/borrowing/buying/selling not allowed
Deal? If your classmate wants to borrow homework from you, what do you say?
Homework
students: justify solutions clearly TAs: evaluate solutions fairly
no individual extension unless not violating the principle (e.g.
institute-established cases of illness or emergency) late penalty:
90% of the value for 12-hour late, 80% of value for 24-hour late, ...
four penalty-free late half-days (金金金牌牌牌) per person
