CMSC-791 Computer Chess: Additional Course Information
Required Work
Each student will be required to read all assigned papers, actively
participate in all class discussions, present one or more research
papers, and complete a substantial original research project on any
aspect of computer chess. Each student must write and present a
project report. Students are encouraged to (but not required to)
undertake projects that involve systems building or experimental work.
Grading Policy
Semester grades will be weighted as follows:
- 60%: research project
- 20%: paper presentation
- 20%: class participation
Computer Facilities
Students in the seminar will have access to UMBC's computer systems,
including SGI Indy and Crimson Workstations, Sun SparcStations, a
20-processor SGI Challenge machine, and a CRAY~YMP-EL.
Academic Misconduct
Each student is expected to be familiar with all University and
Department policies on academic misconduct. An egregious type of
academic misconduct is plagiarism, which in each of its many forms
involves representing somebody else's work as your own.
Violations of academic honesty will be dealt with severely.
