Three Warnings Before (Signing for) the Course (2/3)

Will you give me a second chance if I copy homework from other people? No.

警告: Strict Instructor

(4)

Three Warnings Before (Signing for) the Course (3/3)

second-time teaching this course

last year—good but always room for improvements ambitious and willing toexperiment

How many people will not pass?

about 10% last time; somehow each year/class is different and thusI don’t know yet.

Will your investment (time) get good return (knowledge)?

No guarantees, but I’ll try my best.

be prepared totake some risks!

警告: Uncertain Outcome

Wise Words

給資訊系的同學們：努力加油給想加選的同學們：審慎考慮

Some More Words for CSIE Students

OOP/Javamay not be a required course anymore (tentatively, starting 2010 Fall)

not sure what would happen if you don’t pass this class

take a harder class instead (OO Methodology in the current plan) find a(nother) professor to open the OOP/Java class

...?

safest choice: work hard andpass!

very friendly TAs; ask them more questions!

(11)

THE Principle

Taking any unfair advantages over other class members is not allowed. It is everyone’s responsibility 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

(12)

Honesty

NO CHEATING NO LYING NO PLAGIARISM

very very very very serious consequences

(13)

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 score 81: possible raw score 80 with term score 75: possible raw score 60 with term score 40: possible

raw scores 80, 60 with term scores 70, 70: possible, but unlikely raw scores 80, 60 with term scores 50, 70:impossible

from the principle: no individual score change

(14)

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

(15)

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?

(16)

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, ...

three penalty-free late half-days per person

(17)
