Terms and Conditions and Preparation Instructions for Exams and Homeworks
Mandatory Terms and Conditions
I want to reinforce the points about academic integrity and about
respect for copyright.
- Every document or video provided as part of this course is
copyrighted material. Posting or sharing the material without
permission is prohibited.
- Each exam and homework is to be your solo work without help from
people or automated tools such as ChatGPT (and its variants).
- Do not even mention homeworks and exams to anyone other than the
TA and me. If you have any questions or concerns send them to me.
If your roommate is taking the same course, lock up your work
carefully.
- Even the slightest mention or discussion can pollute your
thinking and affect your solution.
- I will pursue academic integrity violations. Besides determining
violation in this course, I will communicate with graduate and
undergraduate program directors as appropriate. The program
directors may additionally communicate with instructors of your
previous or current courses to determine if there is a pattern of
integrity violation.
- In some cases, a resulting low grade may lead to your graduation
being delayed or your student visa being canceled or a job offer
being rescinded.
- If you cheat, the consequences are completely your fault. Don't
whine and don't ask for exceptions.
If you don't accept the above terms, the only option is to withdraw
from the course. Contact the graduate or undergraduate program
director.

Preparation Instructions
- Submit as a single PDF file to the appropriate locker.
- Name the file with your unity ID, i.e., unityID.pdf or
unityID-H1.pdf
- You may prepare your solutions in a separate document—that
is, you don't have to copy the exam or homework problems document
into your solution. Type in your affirmation verbatim on the first
page and type your name below (to count as a signature).
- Make sure you prepare your solution in typed text or neat
handwriting. Scanned in pencil writing does not work. Dark
backgrounds do not work. Phone camera photos of notebooks
do not work.
- Use 1 inch margins and 12pt text. I will be printing the exams out at about 110% magnification for easy reading. Text that's close to the edge may get cut off.
- Write your name on every page in the top margin but 0.8 or more
inches away from the page's edge.
- Sign the affirmation by hand and scan it OR type in the affirmation text with your name typed below it. Place the affirmation at the beginning of the first page of your submission.
- Note that we ask for brief explanations for every answer you provide, including for the true-false questions.
- There are small deductions of points for failing to meet these preparation instructions.
