Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements
Individual or group solution of a project assignments issued by the instructor (using git version manager), completion of mid-term milestones, presentation and defense of the project at the end of the semester. Completion of other mid-term assignments issued by the lecturer or instructor.
Generative AI usage
1st position: Use of GAI tools is not permitted for solving assignments. This means GAI tools cannot be used to complete formative or summative assessments, and using GAI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for spelling and grammar checking does not fall under this prohibition.
