Collaboration and Academic Integrity
All assignments in this course are single-student assignments, except for
the term projects which can be done in a team of at most four. In general,
projects consist of three ingredients:
- Code: the top-level program used in your project must be your
original creation. You can incorporate example code provided to the class,
but this should either be called as a subroutine from original code, or
the example code should be substantially modified or extended.
- Music composition: projects that require composition must contain an
original composition. It is not acceptable to realize existing music by
another composer.
- Sound files: if you incorporate samples in your work, you must
acknowledge them by providing URLs or copies of the sounds unless you
recorded them yourself. If you record another musician, you should provide
the raw recording, acknowledge the musician, and make sure the recording
does not violate the "Music composition" rule (see previous item).
Moreover, the student is responsible for understanding and carrying out
the intent of each assignment.
Attempts to meet the written requirements without doing the intended
creative work will receive low grades.
It is not considered cheating to clarify vague points in the assignments
or textbook, or to give help or receive help in using the computer systems,
languages, debuggers, or other facilities.
It is not considered cheating to discuss a general technique or approach
to achieve a goal in programming, synthesis, composition, or sound editing.
It is not considered cheating to ask or tell what built-in function
to use to achieve a goal or specification.
It is considered cheating to copy or disclose a specific program
fragment, synthesis algorithm, or element of composition.
Homework (written short-answer assignments on the reading and lectures) must be done individually. Do not give, take, or discuss answers.
