Grading (50%): Coding Projects

Format similar to SS20 CG1 tutorials
Project difficulty depends on the actual topics
(50%) You can decide to do 5 out of 6 given projects (5x10%), or

feel free to finish them all (no bonus, but you will learn more)

Project will be released as homework after each session
Coding skeleton will be provided, most likely 100~1000 LOC
Solutions will be discussed in the subsequent sessions

Late & Cheat Policy

Late submission: 0.005% subtraction for every minute late (2000 minutes tolerance)
Cheating: You don't.

Coding projects will surround the re-implementation of well-known GP algorithms, workflows, etc.
If one sent a pull request, then he/she's the solution will be visible publicly
We will discuss the solution anyway
If you found someone plagiarize your submission, ask the person to stop privately; if you can't find consensus together, please talk to me
If you just want a pass, we do not recommend participation in this course
You don't want to cheat because you take responsibility for your own study
