CS422 is back to the classroom after 1.5-year teaching at Zoom. Look forward to seeing you all at Neil Armstrong Hall (and LWSN).
For safety and healthy, we reserve the right to go online (via ZOOM) when needed, following the university and departmental policies. If you have personal concerns for physical attendance, please no hestiate to contact your instructor (chunyi@).

No PSOs in the first week. TAs will announce their PSO schedule information to the class.

PSO-2 (Fri 9:30a - 10:20a, HAAS G050)
CS422 is an undergraduate-level course about Computer Networks at the Deptarment of Computer Science at Purdue University. In this course, we will use Internet, one of the largest and critical cyber infrastcture, as the showcase of computer networks to learn how to build Internet which is used by almost everyone everyday. We will go through main network protocols used by Internet (called TCP/IP stack) and use them to understand networking principles and practice. Students will advance from daily users to potential developers, understanding why we built Internet this way and how to innovate next-generation Internet.

You need to obey course polices for all the courses in the department of Computer Science, Purdue. Here, I higlhight some important ones.
All assignments are due on the dates and times specified. It is the responsibility of the students to manage their time so that the assignments can be submitted on time. NO late submissions will be accepted for credits except for a documented severe medical or family emergency (specified below).
If you feel that you have been unfairly graded on a lab assignment, homework or exam, you should petition the appropriate TA or Professor in writing within two weeks of distribution of the graded work. After two weeks, NO regrade requests will be honored. For lab assignments, you are allowed to change a few lines of code if that makes your program work, but there will be a penalty per change.
No makeup exams or quizzes will be given except for a documented severe medical or family emergency.
We wish to foster an open and collegial class environment. At the same time, we are vigorously opposed to academic dishonesty because it seriously detracts from the education of honest students. Because of this, we have the following standard policy on academic honesty, consistent with Purdue University's official policy and Purdue's Honor Pledge.
It is permissible to discuss a GENERAL METHOD of solution with other students, or to make use of high-level reference materials in the library or online. If you do this, you will be expected to CLEARLY DISCLOSE with whom you discussed the method of solution, or to cite the references used. Failure to do so will be considered cheating or plagiarism. The use of “method of solution” means a GENERAL discussion of technique or algorithm, such as one would reasonably expect to occur standing in front of a whiteboard, and precludes the detailed discussion of code or written assignments.
Specifically, looking at another student's code on his/her computer monitor or copying code from an online source is NOT allowed.
Unless otherwise explicitly specified, all written assignments or code that is submitted is to be ENTIRELY the student's own work. Using any code or copying any assignment from others or from an online source is strictly prohibited without advance prior permission from the instructor. This includes but not limited to the use of code others have submitted in the past, or solutions found on the Internet.
All students work is their own. Students who do share their work with others are as responsible for academic dishonesty as the student receiving the material. Students are not to show work to other students, in the class or outside. Students are responsible for the security of their work and should ensure that printed copies are not left in accessible places, and that filedirectory permissions are set to be unreadable/ to others (e.g. use “chmod -R 700 *” from your home directory. If you need assistance protecting your work, please contact your TAs.
Students who encourage others to cheat or plagiarize, or students who are aware of plagiarism or cheating and do not report it are also participating in academically dishonest behavior.
Be aware that we will use a software tool called MOSS(http:theory.stanford.edu aikenmoss/) to check for copying among submitted assignments. Additionally, the instructor and TA will be inspecting all submitted material to ensure honesty.
Any case of academic dishonesty will be dealt with by a severe grade penalty in the overall class grade (like Failure) and referral to the office of the Dean of Students.
In the event of a major campus emergency, course requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are subject to changes that may be necessitated by a revised semester calendar or other circumstances. Any changes will be posted to the course web page or on Piazza. Information about emergency preparedness can be found <a href=“http:www.purdue.eduehpsemergency_preparedness”>here<a>.
If you unfortunately experience a medical or any other form of emergency, please do contact your instructor as soon as possible (usually no later than 3 days within its occurance).
You can also review the policies page maintained by Professor Gene Spafford for additional information about academic honesty and other policies.
If you are experiencing stress or personal problems, Purdue provides counseling services through the Purdue CAPS Center. Please see CAPS for more details.
