Introduction to Deep Learning

Accommodations and Policies

Late Days

• You get a total of 7 late days (to be used in 24-hour blocks) which can be used throughout the course (see exceptions below).
• Each late day is bound to only one submission. For example, if one assignment and one report are submitted 3 hours after the deadline, this results in 2 late days being used.
• Late days cannot be used for the final project presentation, the final project report, the final assignment, and any of the exams.
• Once these late days are exhausted, any submissions turned in late will be penalized 25% per late day. Therefore, no submission will be accepted more than three days after its due date. Except where the submission is not eligible to utilize late days (see above), in which case the submission will be accepted after the deadline.
• If you submit a submission multiple times, only the last one will be taken into account. If the last submission was after the deadline, late days will be deducted accordingly.
• If you are unsure about the late day policy, contact the instructor before utilizing them. See below for exceptions.

Academic Integrity

Note that academic dishonesty includes not only cheating, fabrication, and plagiarism, but also includes helping other students commit acts of academic dishonesty by allowing them to obtain copies of your work. In short, all submitted work must be your own. Cases of academic dishonesty will be pursued to the fullest extent possible as stipulated by the Office of Student Conduct. It is very important for you to be aware of the consequences of cheating, fabrication, facilitation, and plagiarism.

Excused Absences and Academic Accommodations

Any student who needs to be excused for an absence from a single lecture, recitation, or lab due to a medically necessitated absence shall:

• Make a reasonable attempt to inform the instructor of his/her illness prior to the class.
• Upon returning to the class, present their instructor with a self-signed note attesting to the date of their illness. Each note must contain an acknowledgment by the student that the information provided is true and correct. Providing false information to University officials is prohibited under Part 9(i) of the Code of Student Conduct (V-1.00(B) University of Maryland Code of Student Conduct) and may result in disciplinary action.
• This self-documentation may not be used for the Major Scheduled Grading Events as defined below.

Any student who needs to be excused for a Major Scheduled Grading Event, must provide written documentation of the illness from the Health Center or from an outside health care provider. This documentation must verify dates of treatment and indicate the time frame that the student was unable to meet academic responsibilities. No diagnostic information shall be given. The Major Scheduled Grading Events for this course include midterm and final exam. For class presentations, the instructor will help the student swap their presentation slot with other students.

It is also the student's responsibility to inform the instructor of any intended absences from exams and class presentations for religious observances in advance. Notice should be provided as soon as possible, but no later than the Monday prior to the the midterm exam, the class presentation date, and the final exam.

Any student eligible for and requesting reasonable academic accommodations due to a disability is requested to provide a letter of accommodation from the Office of Disability Support Services within the first three weeks of the semester.
