Regular Homework Assignments (Graded Assignments)

Over the course of the semester, students will be given a total of 6 graded homework assignments. These assignments will be introduced during our PC labs, giving everyone an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the requirements. Each assignment's evaluation consists of two key components:

  1. Automatic Evaluation: Our system will run tests to ensure the correctness of your code.
  2. Manual Evaluation by the Teacher: Here, emphasis is not just on the solution but also on the presentation of your code. A well-written code should be readable, structured, and accompanied by relevant docstrings to comment on your functions.

Please be aware that the exact submission deadlines for these homework assignments can be found in the Upload system. Typically, students will have a 2-week window to complete and submit their assignments. It is crucial to note that these deadlines are strict, and punctuality is expected. Ensure you adhere to these timelines to guarantee your work is graded.

Mandatory Lab Exercises (Weekly Homework)

Each lab will have an associated mandatory lab exercise (weekly homework) with a deadline on Friday 23:59 each week. During the labs, the assignment will be discussed and individual help will be provided to students in order for them to complete the assignment. Students regularly attending the lectures should be able to solve the problem during the lab, either alone or with a minor help from the teacher. Submission of all mandatory lab exercises to BRUTE Upload system before the deadline is part of the lab attendance requirement.

  • Weekly HW will always be discussed during the PC lab and students will have plenty of time to program the solution before the lab ends.
  • Work on your own but don't hesitate to ask the teacher for your help.
  • Submit your solution before the end of the lab. If it happens that you need a little bit more time, you are allowed to submit the solution by Friday 23:59.
  • Successful submission of all weekly homework assignments is required.

Plagiarism

It is required that all work you submit in this course is original and your own. It is not allowed to copy homework solutions from other students or from the internet, to provide your homework solutions to other students, or to publish them on the internet. You may freely discuss your solutions with other students, but code sharing is prohibited. See plagiarism_cheating for more details.

It is your responsibility that you do not share your code. In case of discovery, the person who provided the code is punished as well. Sufficient evidence of plagiarism is even when a student is unable to explain how his code works.

There are very strict punishments with regard to plagiarism and cheating during homework, tests, and exams. The first discovered plagiarism/cheating leads to zero points from the assignment/test. In case of an assignment, it is further necessary to submit a new, original, solution for zero points. The second occurrence means an F (fail) from the course and any subsequent plagiarism/cheating leads to disciplinary actions at the faculty level. It is important to note that every discovered plagiarism/cheating gets into your record – the plagiarism/cheating occurrences are counted cumulatively across all courses during your studies.

Q/A - Can I copy-paste from the internet?

The definition of plagiarism is using someone else's work and not acknowledging the source, i.e. claiming the work as your own. Copy-pasting is a special case - each time you copy-paste from any source, you need to carefully mark the copy-pasted part and cite the source. In case of essentially all courses during your studies, the work you submit is required to be original and your own, so you will not get any points for submitting someone else's work.
