the specified due dates before 11:30PM. They must be submitted through Web Vista. If you
submit project after the due date/ time but before the cut off time, there will be 2 points late

Research Paper: should be done in pairs covering one of the following four
algorithm approaches: dynamic programming, space and time tradeoffs,
greedy technique, or transform-and-conquer. Choose topic, write and
implement an application of your choice that uses the chosen design
approach (algorithm used should not be any of those used in lectures),
discuss time efficiency, and compare it with other related algorithms, if
appropriate. Submit paper 8-12 pages long with at least 4 references written
in MSWord and PowerPoint slides that will be used for oral presentation in the
class (15 minutes each student).
Students with disabilities: Please contact me privately to discuss your specific needs if you
believe you need course accommodations based on the impact of a disability, medical condition,
or if you have emergency medical information to share. I will need a copy of the
accommodation letter from Student Disability Services in order to arrange your class
accommodations. Contact Student Disability Services, if you are not already registered with
them. Student Disability Services maintains the confidential documentation of your disability
and assists you in coordinating reasonable accommodations with your faculty.
Other University Policies:
You must take the final examination at the time scheduled by the university.
You are responsible for understanding and abiding by the Universitys policy on
academic integrity. Information on the policy may be found at
http://www.ccsu.edu/AcademicIntegrity/ . This policy is rigorously enforced by the
Department of Computer Sciences.
It is expected that all students will conduct themselves in an honest manner (see the
CCSU Student Handbook), and never claim work which is not their own. Violating this
policy will result in a substantial grade penalty, and could result in expulsion from the
University. However, students are allowed to discuss programming assignments with
others and receive debugging help from others.
Attendance: It is expected that the student will attend class sessions regularly. In case of absence
each student is responsible for making-up missed study or work. Limited assistance will be
offered during office hours to those with plausible reasons for absences; unexcused absences
result in the student being totally responsible for make-up process.
