Lecturer:
Yu LI (liyuATcse.cuhk.edu.hk), SHB-106. Office hour: 3pm-5pm, Friday
TA:
Tuesday: 10:30am-12:00pm, LPN-LT.
Onsite. This is a seminar course, for which we have a number of speakers. For some lectures, the slides may not be available considering the preference of the speaker.
Blackboard is the main software to manage the course, and grading will be through blackboard. We will use Piazza (AIST1000) for discussion. You can ask questions through Piazza, even anonymously. For a personal matter, please use the private post to the instructor and the TA. You are also very welcomed to send emails to the instructor and TAs.
Bonus (up to 2.5%): One additional scribing: 1%. Pre-course survey + Post-lecture survey: 0.3% for each, and the maximum is 1.5%. I do encourage you to complete all of them so that to let me know your feedback and adjust the course accordingly. Send your names to the TA.
Please sign Scribing preference. We should have at least one student for each lecture. We may adjust the assignment if necessary. Notice that your note and scribing will be posted online, for others reference. You can choose to remove your name or not. Deadline for signing the scribing: 11:59 pm on 19th Sep. After that, the Google sheet will be closed.
You should do the project individually. You should submit a proposal (10%), a final report (20%) and give a presentation (20%). Both the lecturer (80%) and the students (20%) will be the markers.
Each student will have 6 late days to turn in scribing, project proposal, and project final report. A maximum of 2 late days can be used for each assignment. Grades will be deducted by 25% for each additional late day.
Deadline for each survey: 11:59pm on the day before the next lecture. We do this because I could have time to answer the questions you mentioned in the survey. Please fill 1 in the Google sheet: Survey results, once you have finished one survey. Usually, we will trust the 1s you fill in the Google sheet. But we will check the things in detail if the number of survey forms we received and the number of 1s on the Google sheet is not consistent.
