There will also be a group project, which can be more complex that can require to combine concepts thta are taught in class. Students will be expected to write a description of the projects working with instructors. This will also be part of the project grade. The broad project descriptions are available in class project website. The first, second and third projects will be graded by 8,12, and 16 points respectively. The grading of each project will be based on both quality and process. The programming will be half of the project.

Attendance Bonuses:
Students who attend face-2-face class sections will get bonus points up to 10 point. This requires a strong presence. Each missing class, will cut 0.5 point. We will accept university defined excuses.Students who ask questions and provide inputs by participating face-2-face class discussions can get additional bonus points. This will be added qualitatively based on being active during discussions by asking questions and providing inputs.

Project Bonuses:
Projects also have bonuses. If anybody choose a difficult project, they may get bonus points. These will be discussed during project discussion sessions. With bonuses you can get well above 36 points in projects. Therefore feel free to suggest interesting ideas. If they are based on the content of the course and does not rely on high level operations, we can consider them. We can define the bonuc based on the difficulty.

Plagiarism
In this course, we want to encourage collaboration and the free interchange of ideas among students and in particular the discussion of homework assignments, approaches to solving them, etc. However, we do not allow plagiarism, which, as commonly defined, consists of passing off as one's own the ideas, words, writings, etc., which belong to another. In accordance with this definition, you are committing plagiarism if you copy the work of another person and turn it in as your own, even if you should have the permission of that person. Plagiarism is one of the worst academic sins, for the plagiarist destroys the trust among colleagues without which research cannot be safely communicated.
If you have any questions regarding plagiarism, please consult the latest issue of the Texas A&M University Student Rules, under the section on Scholastic Dishonesty.
