Assignments

Every student taking this class for credit is expected to attend classes, do the readings before each class, and to hand in the assignments.

If you do not have a laptop to log into our institute corpus server, you can use the LSA computing facilities (see hours).

1. Collaboration

You are encouraged to collaborate on all assignments and to submit them together. We suggest a minimum of 3 and no more than 5 collaborators per assignment. You should choose different collaborators for at least one assignment. You are also encouraged to take advantage of the office hours. Meet with us (in groups or alone), ask, and discuss ideas. At least some of our office hours will be held outside to enjoy the sun (but let us know if you need to meet in one of the [link: computer rooms]).

2. Handing in assignments

Assignments should be handed in on paper. Given the short time of the institute, we cannot accept late assignments. Your TAs are taking their classes, too, so that we are on a very tight schedule. Thank you for your understanding. Assignments should have the class name, the assignment #, your name, and the names of your collaborators at the top.

3. Grading

A few words about grading to those who care:

4. List of assignments

Total estimated work load (6-12 hours of reading; 5-10 hours of assignments plus final paper):

For an overview of the database that is one potential solution to the assignment, as well as pattern files, the macro file, and the options file that were used, see the sample solution (...this is not a proper writeup): sample_solution2.pdf

We encourage projects on languages other than English (see list of available corpora and ask us about other languages for which we may have corpora). Please use the cogsci proceedings format (we encourage you to use latex, but word is ok, too). You can use the endnote or bibtex files provided on the reference page.

Questions? Comments? Contact us if you feel that these requirements are too demanding or if you have other thoughts on the assignments. As we are working out the details, we can still adapt some things.
