This course targets computer science graduate students planning professional careers in teaching, research, and advanced development. It seeks to enhance the students' abilities to think critically, communicate effectively in both writing and speech, understand the profession's culture and practices, and plan an appropriate research program. Although the instructor or others may lecture, many of the activities focus on the students learning by doing.
Beginning in Fall 2012, the computer science PhD curriculum requires that all PhD students complete this course; the MS curriculum recommends that MS students take this course if they are planning to write a formal thesis or continue in the PhD program. (PhD students who have completed the comprehensive examination by December 2012 are not required to complete this course.)
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
The campus Emergency website http://emergency.olemiss.edu informs us about campus-related emergencies arising from weather or other circumstances. It helps us know what we should do in the event of an emergency. All should read the RebAlert text messages and emails and then respond accordingly. RebAlerts enable the University to communicate essential information to the campus community when a disaster occurs.
The instructor expects all students to participate regularly by attending class; participating in classroom discussions, quizes, and examinations; and submitting homework assignments by their due dates. The instructor will track attendance using various measures. According to University policy (and Federal requirements), the instructor must verify that every student participates in the course during the first two weeks. Any student not participating during that period will be dropped from the course.
It is University policy to provide, on a flexible and individual basis, reasonable accommodations to students who have disabilities that may affect their ability to participate in course activities or meet course requirements. Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact their instructors to discuss their individual needs for accommodations.
Students should contact the Office of Student Disability Services (http://sds.olemiss.edu/) in 234 Martindale to inquire about the services available and how to request them. Students must submit an Instructor Notification of Classroom Accommodation form to each instructor before direct classroom accommodations will be provided. This must be done on a timely basis so that appropriate accommodations can be arranged.
As a student in Engr 694-60, you are expected to conduct yourself in a professional and ethical manner according to the policies, procedures, and expectations of the Department of Computer and Information Science, School of Engineering, Graduate School, University of Mississippi, and discipline of computer science.
The academic discipline policy of the University of Mississippi will be strictly followed in this course. Violation of the policy may result in anything from failure on an assignment to expulsion from the course, depending on the severity of the violation. The student should refer to the "M" book for general definitions of academic misconduct.
The grading scale for this class is A [90..100], B [80..90), C [70..80), D [60..70), and F [0..60). However, the instructor will use the +/- grading scale, as appropriate, to provide more fine-grained grading within these ranges.
70 percent of the grade will come from the regular writing, editing, and research exercises and perhaps a few quizes. The other 30 percent comes from the term paper and presentation.
