Contact

There are two preferred modes of approaching the course staff for an initial description of the issue/problem/concern/observation/thought/etc.: email and Piazza forums. We will follow up on your email or Piazza forum note, and may schedule a meeting with you to resolve the issue.

For email: please send email to col100-staff@iitd.ac.in from your IITD email account (emails from external accounts will bounce on this email address). Please avoid sending emails to personal IDs of the instructors or TAs. All instructors and TAs are a part of the col100-staff@iitd email group and will receive all emails that you send to the group. Please see a nice set of guidelines on email etiquette by Prof. Amitabha Bagchi at the following link: http://www.cse.iitd.ac.in/~bagchi/general/email-etiquette.html.

Piazza forums: please register yourself on the Piazza forum through the link circulated on the mailing list. The course webpage on Piazza is at the following link: http://piazza.com/iitd.ac.in/fall2018/col100/home.

Grading

The grading structure will be as follows:

Exams

All exams will be closed-book and closed-notes. No mobile phones or laptops are permitted inside the examination hall.

Grading

We will use Gradescope to grade your written assignments and exams. Online assignments will be graded on the online platform itself.

Audit criteria: equivalent to B or above.

Academic Integrity Code

Academic honesty is required in all your work. Verbal discussion of assignments is fine but looking at someone else's work and then doing your is not. You must do all written and programming assignments on your own, except where group work is explicitly authorised. If you use parts of a solution or code from other sources (such as Internet, other OSes, etc.), you should explicitly mention it in your submission. Letting your work become available or visible to others is also cheating. The first instance of cheating will straight-away invite an 'F' grade in the course and a referral to the disciplinary committee.
