For each project, you
will be expected to hand in a paper, produced using a document
formatting program such as Microsoft Word or LaTeX, and printed on a
computer printer, on 8.5 by 11 inch paper (stapled in the upper
left-hand corner, with your own title page rather than the page
automatically produced by the printer), plus
a well documented listing of your program. The listing
should either be presented as figures throughout the paper, or as an
appendix. In either case, the listing is included as documentation
for what you say in the paper. The main product of your work is the
paper, not the program! In the paper, you should say what you have
done, and how (in English summary, not in programming detail) you have
done it. It should also include annotated examples of your program in
action. These should be well chosen to illustrate the range of
performance of your program. The examples should not be redundant,
nor included merely because they look complicated. Each example
should illustrate a particular ability of your program. Nevertheless,
the reader will assume that your program does nothing interesting that
isn't illustrated! You should read NimLearn:
A Learning Nim Player to see an example of a such a paper. By
reading that paper, you might also learn some good Common Lisp programming
techniques. (You can run the nimlearn program by running ACL, and
loading /projects/shapiro/AIclass/nimlearn.)
In addition to the paper, you are to submit your program to your TA, so that it can be run and checked if the TA so chooses.
You will have two to four weeks to do each project. The due date and time will be announced when the project is assigned. Because several courses are using the same computer, project due dates of the different courses must be staggered to prevent overloading. Therefore NO LATE PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
It is perfectly acceptable to use programming ideas and even code from the published literature. However, if you do so, you must cite your sources, or be guilty of plagiarism. Similarly, while it is acceptable to discuss general approaches with your fellow students, the work you turn in must be your own. See the Department Statement on Academic Integrity. If the work of two or more students appear unjustifyably similar, penalties will be assessed to all concerned. Any infraction may be penalized by a grade of F in the course. If you have any problems doing the projects, consult the TAs or the Lecturer.
Grading: Projects will be judged by the following criteria:
| CSE472 | CSE572 | |
|---|---|---|
| Content of paper | 20% | 30% |
| Style of paper | 10% | 20% |
| Choice of demonstration examples | 10% | 20% |
| Correctness of program | 40% | 20% |
| Style of program | 20% | 10% |
| Total | 100% | 100% |
Projects will be given both a numeric and a letter grade.

| Exam 1 | 15% |
| Exam 2 | 15% |
| Final Exam | 35% |
| Total Projects | 25% |
| Total Homeworks | 10% |
| Total | 100% |
The final course grade will be the weighted average grade, truncated if necessary. For example, F- and F+ will be truncated to F, and D- will be truncated to D.
You should check the grade record regularly, and promptly report any discrepancy between the grades shown there and your own records of your grades to the Instructor and/or the TA.
