CS 88/188 (Bioinformatics), Fall 2005: Policies
 
Lab assignments
(6, equally weighted)

Lab assignments are distributed and turned in via Blackboard. Solutions must be submitted electronically before class on the due date, and must be accompanied by a hard copy turned in at the start of class. There are pairs of labs by general topic (sequence, structure, and function); after each pair, a class is devoted to presentations by students on the labs.

Each lab is due one week after it is assigned. The labs are structured, and class time is given, so that this schedule is manageable. In general, late submissions will not be accepted, but under extenuating circumstances (prolonged illness, death in the family, etc.), arrangements to turn in lab materials late may be made before the due date. The lab presentations are scheduled for fixed dates; in order to ensure coherence, all presentations must be done on those dates.
 
Collaboration policy You may discuss the labs with other students currently taking the course, but your submitted solutions must be entirely your own. As part of a discussion, you may show (in person) another student your work. However, you may not copy anything directly from another student's work. For example, copying a portion of someone else's solution onto a piece of paper would violate the honor code, even if you eventually turn in a different answer. Similarly, e-mailing a portion of your code to another student, or posting it on an on-line forum, would violate the honor code. Although all students must create and type in their own code, you may help other students debug their programs once their programs are written. Note that discussion between two students will be most useful when both students have already made serious attempts to solve the problem on their own. You do not need to acknowledge discussion with other students on your submitted work.
 
Dartmouth policies

Dartmouth's honor code applies to this course, and academic misconduct policies will be strictly enforced. If you have questions, ask.

Any student with a documented disability needing academic adjustments or accommodations is requested to speak to me and give me a copy of your accommodations form by the end of the second week of the term. All discussions will remain confidential, although the Director of Student Disabilities may be consulted if questions arise.
