Course Prerequisites

Knowledge about operating systems, networks, and parallel architectures will be helpful.

Grading Philosophy

Every class has a quiz or report.

Course Hours Breakdown and Out-of-Class Learning

Students have to submit a report for each class by its deadline.

Students must not include other people's reports, web search results, or outputs from generative AI in their submitted reports. Students use reports to confirm their understanding of the course. If students understand the course content, they can easily create the reports. Even if the answers in the reports are generally considered correct, they may be deemed incorrect as the responses for this course.

Requiring statements about generative AI on individual syllabus is likely an overreaction. Even if instructors include guidelines on using generative AI in their individual course syllabi, it seems unlikely that students will respond accordingly. With the emergence of generative AI, the question arises as to why students are attending university. It is tedious for humans to do things generative AI can answer, or to have humans check outputs from generative AI. Having graders check outputs of generative AI is disrespectful. The lecturer of this course hopes that the contents of this course will satisfy the intellectual curiosity of the students.
