This semester, again, we will have THREE sets of homework. Typically, the homework is out at some Monday and due at the Monday of two weeks after. You can delay it to the Monday following the week it is due (so you have 7 more days to work on it), but you will be deducted 10% from your score of the homework. The homework is graded based on correctness and the clarity.
FOR SUBMISSION, BESIDES HARD COPY, PLEASE UPLOAD SOFT COPY TOO (Only PDF or PS format Accepted!!) TO BLACKBOARD. Please name your file using format lastname-firstname-cs549-hwX.pdf, where lastname is your last name, firstname is your firstname, and X=1, 2, 3 stands for which homework.
The Midterm of Fall 2009 semester will be in class and closed book exam (at the same class room SB 239). All students are required to come to the main campus for the midterm (and also the final exam at the end of the semester). The Midterm will be held on Oct. 14 at room SB 239.
See http://www.enrollment.iit.edu/calendar/finals/2009F.html for the final exam schedule. However, we will have a take-home exam. The exam will be posted online here when it is ready.
Following is some statistical information about the grades of some assignments and the exams. Here Top5Avg is the average of the top 5 scores. Your score will be compared with this number when it is time to decide whether you get A, or, B, or C, or F for this course.
