Individual extensions will be granted only for medical reasons (see the Short-term Illness Notification policy) or other circumstances beyond your control that must be presented with an official Dean's excuse. We do not grant extensions after an assignment is due, you must request an extension before an assignment is due.
If you have personal reasons to ask for an extension, and you do so at least a week in advance, it's possible to get one, so please ask.
Any work in this course that does not include an explicit policy about working with others is assumed to be work you do on your own. Occasionally you will be given work to do with explicit permission to collaborate.
Material on these pages is often taken from the courses of Jon Kleinberg, Michael Kearns, Lada Adamic, Nicole Immorlica, Jim Moody, and the Duke CS Ed group.
