5. Evaluation: Your grade would depend on your performance in the final examination (80%), class participation (10%), and your group-report on the COC Project (10%); a group should have maximum six students. Unless there is an official grade distribution of the Institute, your QPI would be calculated as equal to (P-N)/10, where P is your overall percentage-score and N is between 0 and 10 (usually 10).

6. Code of Ethics: You must abide yourself by the (unwritten) Code of Ethics for Students. For individual (group) assignments/examinations/projects, it is unethical to seek any direct help from others (other groups), whether or not you make use of the help. Besides, other forms of dishonesty (like plagiarism) would also invite severe punishment. Moreover, for a group assignment, all members of the group should contribute to the preparation of the report (no free-riders), and no direct help should be sought or taken from persons outside the group. Discussion among individual students and groups (except in the examination hall or class-room) is, of course, always encouraged. But, the final report or solution should be totally in your (your group’s) own style and language; any form of copying from another student (or group) or from any outside source is a serious offense. Moreover, you (or, wherever relevant, each member of your group) must fully and clearly understand every word and every step written in your (your group’s) report. Your basic purpose should be to learn, without resorting to any unfair means for getting a higher score/grade. If you resort to any unfair means, including, but not limited to, the ones mentioned above, you would receive an F in the course; I may also recommend to the Institute for your expulsion.

7. Academic Integrity (taken verbatim from the University of Texas, Dallas, format):

The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work.

Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one’s own work or material that is not one’s own. As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records. Students suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings.

Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and from any other source is unacceptable and will be dealt with under the university’s policy on plagiarism (see general catalog for details). This course will use soft-ware that searches the web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.
