Policies
Late Submission
Each student has a total of 6 late days without penalty. You can use up to 3 late days per assignment or project milestone excluding project final report.
Late submission of team assignments will result in each member of the team being charged for the late days.
For example, if a group of two students submitted their project proposal 23 hours after the deadline, this results in 1 late day being used per student.
Once all 6 late days are used, any assignments turned in late will be penalized 20% per late day.
In case of multiple submissions of an assignment, only the last one will be taken into account for the number of late days.
Collaboration and Help
You may discuss the ideas behind assignments with others. You may ask for help understanding class and IR concepts. You may study with friends. However...
The work that you submit must be your own. It may not be copied from the web, from another student in the class, or from anyone else. If you stumble upon and use a solution from the textbook or from class, you are expected to acknowledge the source of the work.
Your effort on exams (mini or final) must be your own. Your homework submissions must be your own work and not in collaboration with anyone. Your project work must be your own work and not a copy of someone else's work.
