Code of Honor

Assignments are designed to enhance your understanding and skills, constituting a significant portion of your final assessment. They must be completed individually, as engaging in any form of academic dishonesty violates the principles of the Code of Honor. If you encounter any challenges while solving the assignments, please contact the instructional team for guidance.

As mentioned in the main page, the course will consists of 3 assignment sets. Each assignment includes Written Questions that are to be solved (or briefly answered), and Programming Tasks which are to be implemented in Python.
