Academic Honesty
Per the slides from lecture:
We treat all our students with utmost trust and respect, and expect students to return the same trust and respect. In EECS16A we will have zero-tolerance for academic dishonesty. There will be dire consequences for students that violate that trust and the Berkeley code of conduct. Both professors Arias and Lustig are committed to enforcing academic honesty, and dishonesty cases will be punished in their fullest – no excuses or special circumstances will be considered. Always seek help, never cheat.
Learning
Remember: You are at Berkeley! Everyone here is smart:
- Students come from all different backgrounds.
- Professors also make mistakes. They are open to feedback!
- If you feel like you are struggling or falling behind, don’t be afraid to ask for help!
Most students tend to study better in groups. You may optionally enter your information in Homework 0 to be matched into a study group. This is a great way to meet new friends and make study mates!
Final Thoughts
Just as Professor Lustig described during the first lecture, slope is more important than intercept. This class gives students more practice with multi-step thinking, which makes this class stand out among others. This skill be applied later on for solving complex real-world problems. For this reason, many exercises will require multiple steps, each involving some aspect of interpretation or analysis. It may be difficult, but in the end you will greatly benefit from it. If things start feeling like too much, once again, course staff is available to help!
