GomesCS4700http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs4700/2008fa/HomeworkHomework is very important. It is the best way for you to learn the material. You are encouraged to discuss the problems with your classmates, but all work handed in should be original, written by you in your own words. Assignments turned in late will drop 5 points for each period of 24 hours for which the assignment is late. In addition, no assignments will be accepted after the solutions have been made available. No late homework will be acceptedCarla P. GomesCS4700http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs4700/2008fa/Mailing [email protected]. Contact us by using this mailing list. The list is set to mail all the TA's and Prof. Gomes -- you will get the best response time by using this facility, and all the TA's will know the question you asked and the answers you receive.Carla P. GomesCS4700http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs4700/2008fa/CS4701 Project (Optional)CS4700 is a co-requisite for CS473. There will be an organizational meeting in Hollister Hall room 110 on Tuesday, September 2nd at 3:35pm. The main assignment for CS4701 is a course project.
