====== Class Project ======
===== Class Project Presentation Schedule =====
  * TBA

===== Class Project Presentation Requirements=====
  - For each group, the total time for the presentation is 15 minutes, including 12 minutes for the talk and 3 minutes for Q&A. The presentation will follow the order above. Since this class will last until the end of all the presentations, if the time is not suitable for you, you can tell us to change your order. \\
  - In the presentation, there is no demo part. The demo part is an independent process divided into two sub-sections. The first section will be hold in tutorial time on Dec. 1st. In this section, all the groups should demo your program to the two tutors. The tutors will guide you to revise your program. The second section will be hold on Wednesday, Dec. 16th. In this section, Prof. King will check your program before the final submission of your codes. \\
  - For groups implementing graphical algorithms, you should explain one algorithm as detailed as you can in the presentation. You should give an example with the structure of nodes, values, and your calculations. You also need to analyze the complexity of your algorithms and test whether your algorithms can be applied in large graphs. For other groups, you should focus on three aspects including the motivation of your idea, the detailed algorithms, and the justification of your methods comparing to naive methods through experiments.

====== Examination Matters ======

====== FAQ ======

  - **Q: What is departmental guideline for plagiarism?**\\ A: If a student is found plagiarizing, his/her case will be reported to the Department Discipline Committee. If the case is proven after deliberation, the student will automatically fail the course in which he/she committed plagiarism. The definition of plagiarism includes copying of the whole or parts of written assignments, programming exercises, reports, quiz papers, mid-term examinations. The penalty will apply to both the one who copies the work and the one whose work is being copied, unless the latter can prove his/her work has been copied unwittingly. Furthermore, inclusion of others' works or results without citation in assignments and reports is also regarded as plagiarism with similar penalty to the offender. A student caught plagiarizing during tests or examinations will be reported to the Faculty Office and appropriate disciplinary authorities for further action, in addition to failing the course.
