	I also calculate grades using alternative marking schemes at the end of the semester, assigning the highest grade for each student from any of the marking schemes. Thus your final grade may be higher than might be suggested by strict following of the above scheme.

	Individual chapters will be linked with the lectures associated with them. You should plan on reading the assigned chapters '''before''' coming to class, as the material in lectures will be easier to understand then. The lectures are designed to supplement the textbook, not replace them.		Individual chapters will be linked with the lectures associated with them.

			This course focuses much more on reading code rather than writing code. Thus, John Aycock's book, [http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~aycock/reading-and-modifying-code.pdf Reading and Modifying Code], is worth reading to better understand how reading code differs from writing code.

	For assignments, while you may get help from others and even collaboratively solve technical problems, the code and answers submitted should all be your own work. For example, you may not divide an assignment into parts, give a part to another student or anyone else to solve, and then submit that work as your own. You have to have participated in the creation of every part of your submitted work. An easy way to make sure this happens is never share files regarding coursework or copy and paste answers into email. Instead, meet together to work on an assignment and then separate to write up your solutions.

	~~The final project may be a group project, but again there it should be clearly documented what contribution was made by each group member.~~

	Similarity between submitted assignments and projects that has not been appropriately documented will be treated as plagiarism - the same as copying on a midterm or a final - and will be submitted to the Dean for disciplinary action.
