Important Notes
- All course-related questions should be sent and handled via Piazza. Canvas is only used for submitting homework, assignments, and projects. Try to avoid sending me emails directly as it is likely to be buried in my inbox.
- All homework, assignments, and projects must be done individually. A 20% (non-hourly based) penalty is applied to any late submission unless special circumstances like illness. Any submission that is later than 3 days after the deadline will not be evaluated.
- You can use tools like ChatGPT in doing homework, assignments, and so on. If you use it, we request you to acknowledge it in your submitted materials and to submit your prompts (e.g., screenshots) for us to investigate the use cases. Ideally, you should restrict most of use cases to improving the english writing instead of getting answers directly.
- UBC values academic integrity. Therefore, all students must understand the meaning and consequences of cheating, plagiarism and other academic offences under the Code of Student Conduct and Discipline.
