FAQ#

What happens if I miss a class? You are allowed up to 3 absences from laboratory classes. If your absence is excused (e.g., medical leave), you do not need to do make-up work; you will simply receive points at the end of the semester based on your average from the lab activities you did attend. (Example: If your average from attended classes is 80%, you will get 80% of the points for the missed class, e.g., 4 out of 5 pts for a workshop).

Can I use AI or copy code? No. AI tools are banned. AI IDE plugins that autocomplete more than one line are also prohibited (single-line completion plugins are permitted). You can use small, clearly cited public code fragments if you fully understand them, but your overall solution must be your own independent work.

What operating system is used on the lab computers? You can use either the Arch Linux or Windows system.
