Stanford Honor Code
Students are free to form study groups and may discuss
homeworks, projects and assignments in groups. However, for
homeworks, each student must write down
the solutions and code from scratch independently, without referring to any written notes from the joint
session. In other words, each student must understand the solution well enough in order to reconstruct it by
themselves. It is an honor code violation to copy, refer to, or look at written or code solutions from a
previous year or any other source, including but not limited to: official solutions from a previous year, solutions posted online,
and solutions you or someone else may have written up in a
previous year, or from any other source. Furthermore, it is an honor code
violation to post your assignment solutions online, such as on
a public git repo. You must explicitly cite any external content, research,
code or other resources you use for your homeworks, analyses or projects. The Stanford Honor Code can be
found
here. The Stanford
Honor Code pertaining to CS courses can be found

Can I audit or sit in?
A significant component of this course is in-class
participation and activities. In general, we are very open to sitting-in guests
if you are a member of the Stanford community (registered student,
staff, and/or faculty), but the primary participants will be
registered students. Out of courtesy, we would appreciate that you
first email us or talk to the instructor after the first class you
attend. If the class is too full and we're running out of
space, we would ask that you please allow registered students to attend.
Is there a textbook for this course?
While there is no required textbook, we offer a recommended reading list
here
for this course.
