Communications of the ACM , 29-38, 1992. C.J. van Rijsbergen, Information Retrieval , second edition. I.H. Witten, A. Moffatt, T.C. Bell, Managing Gigabytes , Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1994. Students are expected to attend each class. Attendance will not be taken directly, but absence may be noted because of occasional in-class writing assignment.
Homework assignments are due as indicated on the homework, and on paper.
Handwritten homework is fine, but it must be legible. Late homework submissions will be accepted at the sole discretion of the instructor, but in no case after a solution set has been handed out. Exams may be taken other than at the scheduled time, but only under exceptional circumstances and then only if approved by the instructor before the exam. It is your responsibility to contact the instructor and justify your cause. Makeup exams will rarely be the same as the original exam, and will usually be all or partly oral.
