Late Policy
We will not accept late homeworks, programming assignments, or exams.
Period. If you need to miss something, we might be able to make arrangements
ahead of time.
Programs and projects are due on Thursdays at 5pm. We will look at AFS
timestamps to check to see when files were last touched, or we might lock
down directories.
Late projects will be accepted until the Monday morning following the
due date. This is a practical matter: at this time we may release information
(such as demo instructions) that would give students still working on
their projects an unfair advantage. A student is permitted to turn 1 project
in late without penalty. The second late project will be given a half
letter grade penalty. If a student turns in all three projects late, the
third will be penalized a full letter grade.
Homework assignments are due in class on Tuesdays. Late assigments may
not be accepted.
Not Turning in Assignments
Not doing an assignment (turning in nothing) will be considered worse than
doing a bad job.
In order to receive a passing grade you must complete all of the projects,
and exams. To meet this requirement, a failing grade is better than a
"void" (or no grade).
"Completing" a project means turning something in and giving
a demo. Even if your program does absolutely nothing, you must still show
up to tell us that.
We will only grade assignments that are turned in.
Extra Credit and Bonus Parts
There will be no extra credit on any assignments. You cannot make up
things once you have missed them. Assignments and projects may have bonus
parts to them. These are optional. They will not help you grade. They
are provided to give you a way to gain more experience with the topics
and ideas, and to show off how smart you are. Doing a bonus part does
not take the place of doing the regular parts of an assignment.
