Participation

Participation in this course will be evaluated on the basis of:

• active in-person participation in class meetings
• activity (asking and answering questions, contributing tips, making suggestions, etc.) in our Zulip chatroom

To get full points for participation you need to participate either in-person or online. (You can do both, of course, but you don’t need to do both.)

Communicating with me

Zulip chat is the best way to communicate with me outside of class.

If you have a question about course content (data modeling, RDF, SPARQL, etc.) or administration (deadlines, schedule changes, assignment clarifications, etc.), post your question to the appropriate Zulip stream, so that others can benefit from the answer (or can answer it themselves).

If you need to discuss a personal matter, send a direct message in Zulip, or email me.

If you want face-to-face assistance with understanding a concept or completing an assignment, make an appointment for my office hours.

If you have questions about how an assignment was evaluated, then you must make an office hours appointment. I will not discuss your grades or my evaluation of your work via email or direct message.

Honor Code

You are expected to know and respect UNC Honor Code. Collaboration, discussion, and seeking assistance from other students is encouraged in this class and is not inconsistent with the Honor Code. In the case of written work, all words drawn from others must be attributed appropriately.
