Assessment
Assessment
This course has 2 components: Writtenexamination60%
Practicalassignments40%
You are expected to participate in all activities, attend lectures and submit your assignments on time.
Hurdle: You need at least 40% of the mark of the written examination to pass this course.
If you see an RP on your transcript, it means that your mark is not currently available. If you dont know why, you should contact your course coordinator.
Minimum Performance
On each component with a hurdle, you are required to achieve at least 40% of the marks allocated in the component.
If your mark for any component with a hurdle is less than 40% of the allocated marks for that component, and your overall mark is greater than 45 F, your overall mark will be reduced to 45 F.
To pass the course, you must obtain a passing mark overall and achieve at least 40% of the available marks in components with a hurdle.
Late submission policy
You should hand your coursework in on time.
If you hand in your work late, your mark will be capped, based on how many days late it is.
up to 1 day late mark reduced to 75%, marks below 75% not affected.
up to 2 days late mark reduced to 50%, marks below 50% not affected.
up to 3 days late mark reduced to 25%, marks below 25% not affected.
More than 3 days late mark is reduced to 0.
If you handed in something on time, and it is worth more than something that you handed in late, you will get the higher mark.
Hand in early!
Repeating Students
Students who repeat a course are expected to attempt all of the aspects of the course again. This includes making fresh attempts at all coursework assessment items.
You may apply to the course coordinator to have your previous work counted but this is not usually granted.
Make sure that you attend all of the lectures, do all of the work and study hard for the exam you dont want to get stuck repeating the same course over and over.
Modified arrangements
Assignment extensions
Extensions will not be granted for circumstances including minor ailments; travel, employment, family, customary, sport or leisure commitments; problems with balancing workloads; normal exam stress or anxiety.
If you think your situation is exceptional, contact your course coordinator ASAP, who will then consult the Head of School.
Students who deliberately submit false or fraudulent documentation may be referred to the Student Misconduct Tribunal.
You will normally only receive an extension equivalent to
the number of days covered by your documentation.
Dont expect to get an extra week because you lost a day.
Replacement exams
Replacement exams will not be granted for circumstances including minor ailments; travel, employment, family, customary, sport or leisure commitments; problems with balancing workloads; normal exam stress or anxiety.
Students granted a replacement exam are not eligible to sit the primary exam.
Students who sit the primary exam will not be eligible to apply for a replacement exam unless a major issue arose during the exam.
Students must make themselves available during the replacement exam period.
Replacement exams (cont.)
Students will not be entitled to an additional assessment if they have already sat a replacement exam, i.e., no supps on supps.
Students granted a deferred replacement exam will not be eligible to sit the primary exam or the replacement exam (only under exceptional circumstances will a deferred replacement exam be granted).
The University must notify students of the outcome of their replacement exam applications within 3 business days (if you already sat the primary exam, do not bother applying for a replacement exam).
Replacement exams (cont.)
Students who deliberately submit false or fraudulent documentation may be referred to the Student Misconduct Tribunal.

Academic honesty policies
Academic Honesty Policies
The University has strict policies prohibiting students from presenting other peoples work as their own, whether that of students or from outside the University.
You may not copy code from another student or give another student your code to copy from, unless specifically authorised to do so by a staff member.
You may not copy code from anywhere else, without permission.
If caught, you may receive zero for the assignment, zero for the
course or be expelled.
We dont give you assignment work just to keep you busy, we do it to develop your understanding and ability to apply important techniques.
If you dont do the work yourself, you wont be able to do it in the examination and you wont be able to do it in the work force.
Full policy available at the university webpages.

How to avoid plagiarism/collusion
If you get stuck, seek help from the lecturer, tutor or prac demonstrator rather than copying from someone else.
Starting your work early will help you to avoid getting stuck at the last minute.
When in doubt, ask your lecturer.
Submission practicals / practical examinations
How to Submit your Practicals
Go to https://cs.adelaide.edu.au/services/websubmission/
There, find the directory name that you need to make in your
svn repository for each assignment
Use secure shell to have external access to universitys computing resources:
ssh uss.cs.adelaide.edu.au
Use svn commands to make the directory
Upload (or make) your files in your directory
Make sure your files are compiled with universitys compiler
Go back to https://cs.adelaide.edu.au/services/websubmission/ and submit your work. (Dont forget this!) and check feedback
Get help from
Your practical/workshop supervisors
https://cs.adelaide.edu.au/current-students/handbook/external/
You know what exactly the repository address of your assignment needs to be (from web-submission)
Use svn commands to make that folder
svn mkdir parents https://version-control.adelaide.edu.au/svn
/aXXXXXXX/what/ever/you/want -m must have some comments
Either from your own terminal
Or from the server, which you connect to by ssh. If you have windows, use Putty (a free ssh client) to connect to the server through ssh
If you dont have a working copy, check out this folder (or one of the parents) to get a fresh working copy of that
svn co https://version-control.adelaide.edu.au/svn /aXXXXXXX/what/ever/you/want localFolderAddress
Either on your own computer
Orontheserver(firstusesshtoconnect)
If you already have a working copy of one of the parent folders,
Eithermaketheassignmentfolder(s)locallyandaddthemby svn commands
cd ExistingParentFolder
svn add NewFolderName
svn ci m comments
Orusesvncommandstomakethatfolder(s)ontheserver
Then update your working copy folder. You will see the new directory in that
cdExistingParentFolder svn update
Try not to have more than one working copy.

If your working copy is on the server

Algorithm and Data Structure Analysis
Lecture 1: Introduction
Motivation
Why is this course important?
Efficient data structures and algorithms are essential for successful computer applications
We need efficient methods on how to store, manipulate data
We need efficient algorithms to search them.
Problems in computer science require efficient
algorithms.
Topic of this course:
Basic data structures and algorithms with focus on their analysis
Algorithm and Data Structure Analysis
Goals We want to have:
Data structures that allow us to carry out operations as efficiently as possible
Algorithms that solve problems as efficiently as possible.

Measure time for operations on data structures and time to execute algorithms in dependence of n

Complexity

100.000.000
Its great to have algorithms that run in linear time or time n logn.
Many important problems have algorithms whose runtime is bounded by a small polynomial (e. g. n2 or n3)
For a wide class of important problems there is most probably no algorithm that runs in polynomial time.
Algorithm and Data Structure Analysis
Asymptotic Behaviour
Analysis of the growth rate of a function
We measure runtime as a function of the input size n.
Define complexity depending on the asymptotic behaviour.

Algorithm and Data Structure Analysis
What is an algorithm?
An algorithm is a step by step list of direc;ons
that need to be followed to solve a problem.
Algorithms are oJen used to describe how a
computer might solve a problem.
A recipe can be a type of algorithm. It tells what ingredients are needed to make the dish and what steps to follow. If the recipe tells exactly what to do without too much confusion, then it is an algorithm.
