Assessment Overview
1. Weekly homeworks – 4% (individual)
• Every week (except weeks 1 and 13) you need to prepare and submit a homework via Canvas by Tuesday 4pm
• Why not in weeks 1 and 13? Week 1 – no tutorial, week 13 – last week of semester, relax☺
• Why Tuesday 4pm? The first tutorial starts at that time and we discuss the homework solutions at the tutorials
• The homeworks are due in the current week, i.e. the homework for week 2 is due in week 2, the homework for week 3 is due in week 3, etc.
• The homework exercises (typically 1 exercise) are easy and require direct application of the material covered at the lectures. Their aim is to prepare you for the tutorial and encourage you to study steadily during the semester.
• Marking – 4 homeworks only (randomly chosen, the same for all students) will be marked for 1 marks each; marks available in week 13
• Do your homework every week and do not lose easy marks! , COMP3308/3608 AI, week 1, 2022
Homeworks – Submission
• The submission box is under “Assignments” in Canvas, except for 2 weeks when it is under “Quizzes”
• The submission box opens on Saturday 9am and closes on Tuesday 4pm
• No late submissions are allowed; if you miss the homework and have a valid
reason, please apply for Special Consideration
• The exercises for homework are marked on the tutorial notes
• Typically only 1 exercise is for homework, the same for COMP3308 and COMP3608 unless otherwise specified

Cheating and Plagiarism
Please read the Uni policy on Academic Honesty carefully: https://sydney.edu.au/students/academic-integrity.html
All cases of academic dishonesty and plagiarism will be investigated
There is a centralized Uni system and database Three types of offenses:
• Plagiarism – when you copy from another student, website or other source. This includes copying the whole assignment/exam or a part of it.
• Academic dishonesty – when you make your work available to another student to copy (the whole assignment/exam or a part of it). There are other examples of academic dishonesty.
• Misconduct – when you engage another person to complete your assignment/exam (or a part of it), for payment or not. This is very serious and the Policy requires that your case is forwarded to the University Registrar for investigation.
, COMP3308/3608 AI, week 1, 2022
• The penalties are severe and include:
1) a permanent record of academic dishonesty, plagiarism and misconduct
in the University database
2) mark deduction, ranging from 0 for the assignment to Fail for the course
3) expulsion from the University and cancelling of your student visa
• Do not confuse legitimate co-operation and cheating! You can discuss the assignment with another student, this is a legitimate collaboration, but you cannot complete the assignment together – everyone must write their own code or report, unless the assignment is group work.
• When there is copying between students, note that both students are penalised – the student who copies and the student who makes his/her work available for copying
, COMP3308/3608 AI, week 1, 2022
Plagiarism Detection
• We will use similarity detection software to compare your assignments with these of other students (current and previous) and the Internet
• TurnItIn for text documents
• Grok’s system for code
• These tools are extremely good!
• They cannot be fooled by a small change in the sentence (text) or changing the names of the variables or changing the order of the conditions in if-else statements (code)
, COMP3308/3608 AI, week 1, 2022
Student Excuses
• Real cases from our school for assignments; the student excuses are not acceptable and both parties were penalized:
• I posted parts of my code on my web page (group discussion) because my solution was cool (or I wanted to help them). I didn’t expect them to copy.
• I tried to do the assignment on my own but I had problems with the extension part that I couldn’t fix, so I submitted my core part and his extension part. I didn’t cheat.
• I finished my assignment but my friend had family problems. I felt sorry for her, so I gave her my assignment as an example. She said she only wanted to have a look and promised not to copy it.
• He is my best friend. I had no choice but to let him copy my assignment.
, COMP3308/3608 AI, week 1, 2022
Cheating at the exam?
• Don’t even think about this!
• The exam is proctored
• The questions are not easily googalable
• You don’t need to cheat – you can do well without cheating!
• There are huge risks and penalties – it is not worth it!
• Please do not cheat. You will be caught. The penalties are huge. The stress of going through the investigation is immense. The investigation takes many months and your mark will not be finalised until it is completed, your graduation may be delayed, you may have problems enrolling in other courses.
• It is not worth it. You will regret it all your life.
, COMP3308/3608 AI, week 1, 2022
Cheating and Plagiarism – Key Message
• Plagiarism and any form of academic dishonesty will be dealt with and the penalties are severe
• We use plagiarism detection systems that are extremely good. If you cheat, the chances you will be caught are very high.
• Always submit your own work and sit your own tests and exams
• If someone asks you to see or copy your assignment/exam, or to complete the assignment/exam instead of them, just say: I can’t do this. This is against the University policy. I will not risk my future by doing this.
Be smart and don’t risk your future by engaging in plagiarism and academic dishonesty!
