    • Honor Code

      We encourage students to form study groups, and discuss the lecture and other materials. However, the work that you submit should be your own work. For the programming part you are allowed to use other solutions, algorithms but you must know their properties and also introduce your own contributions for completion of your project (e.g. input data manipulation, parameter changes, architectural changes).
