Course Guidelines
Welcome to the course guidelines! As indicated in the Syllabus, this document contains important
information about how to succeed in the course, and it is required of you to read it. If you have any
questions about the syllabus, the course policy, or this document, then please post a discussion
question on Moodle or Discord. Alternatively, you may email the course coordinators directly
[email protected].

CentOS 8
The tutorial content will be undertaken on VM’s running CentOS 8.

Online Learning
You will be enrolled onto Moodle automatically using your registration email address reported by
Indico. (It may take several hours for your email to appear in the Moodle roster after you register on
Indico for the course, so if you have just registered, please wait for 24 hours before complaining that
you are not registered).

If you have a Moodle account using a different email address, it is required that your Moodle
account is associated with your official SCC2021 Indico enrolled email address. Please ensure that
your existing Moodle account is registered with this email address, so that you can enjoy seamless
access to the Moodle resources as well as have your Indico enrolment information consolidated with
your Moodle profile.

You and your teammates are responsible for keeping up to date with announcements from either
Moodle and / or Discord.

Using Moodle:
The Discussion Forums on Moodle are for posting questions regarding the course policy, problem
sets, content, lectures, etc. that any other student may also be interested in knowing the answer.

If you have a specific video/quiz question, please include: Chapter Number, Morsel Number, Lesson
Title, Timestamp so that everyone (the teaching staff and other students) can refer to the exact
section of the video/quiz content that you are asking about. Of course, with an assignment PDF, you
will use similarly appropriate syntax for referencing the information you are referring to.

As this is a competition, there are only a limited number of teams that will progress to the next
round, but for this selection round everyone has the opportunity to learn and take home some
amazing and valuable knowledge so WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO ASK QUESTIONS AND ANSWER
QUESTIONS! If you know an answer, or can provide additional guidance or information, please feel
free to include a “student answer” portion to the discussion.

Participants that show a history of consistently providing quality and meaningful answers (or
likewise asking valuable and relevant questions) will earn extra credit towards the final
determinations for team selection.

Using Discord:
Participants are strongly encouraged to work with their team members within their private Discord
channels that will be provided for you. Furthermore, your private team channels may also be used to
post questions related to any tutorial / assignment submission specific content.

Answer Correctness:
It is possible that a student answer on Moodle will not be 100% correct. If that occurs, we will
generally correct or expand upon the correct answer. In a rare case, it may even be possible that an
instructor makes a mistake and types something incorrect (for example, using “or” instead of “and”
which can completely reverse the meaning of a bit of logic).

We will strive to correct any mistakes we find and ask you also to notify us if you believe something
is incorrect. However, if something on Moodle is in contradiction with the course syllabus or an
assignment specification document, please alert us and wait for us to make a public announcement
and any necessary updates to the syllabus or relevant assignment before believing that it is 100%
correct.

Academic Integrity Policy & Guidelines


All participating students must uphold the Academic Honour Code and Integrity expectations. We
always expect honest and ethical behaviour of all participants. All incidents of suspected dishonesty
will be reported for further investigation and if there is evidence that you have violated the Honour
Code, you can expect, at an absolute minimum, to receive a penalty score and receive a warning
posted to your team’s record. Grave incidents will also be reported to your host institution.

A few notes on honourable behaviour with respect to the course include:

• You may only discuss answers & code for particular items after a submission deadline for
that matter has passed and the Instructors announce that it is acceptable to discuss.
• You should only address questions relating to your solutions directly to the Instructors via a
private message so no other teams see your solutions.
• When writing solutions for your tutorials or the assignment, you may use small sections of
code or similar that you have found online or in lecture videos, provided you place a note
before and after the segment, listing the source.

Collaboration
• Although we encourage community engagement, it is not permissible to post details of the
Student Cluster Competition to a public forum or to any other individual outside of the
current competition.
• While we expect members of the same team to adopt any mechanism they need in order to
collaborate within the team, these platforms or tools must be kept strictly private for only
members of the team. Any public access to the files, whether intentional or accidental, will
be considered a violation of the student integrity expectations.
• We encourage community engagement and self learning; if a student or a team finds useful
code to be implemented in their solution, they must cite the origin of that information and
clearly indicate what has been referenced.
• While we do encourage student collaboration through Moodle and Discord, it is not
permissible to share the contents of a configuration file with other students.
