CPE/CSC 580 Spring 2001 Assignments

Individual Assignments

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all assignments are individual assignments. Whereas I encourage you to discuss the problems to be solved with classmates, each student has to submit his or her own solution. It is not acceptable to use somebody else's solution as a "blueprint" or "inspiration", or to copy and paste material from other students. In the case of programs, all the code submitted must be written by yourself. The use of libraries is permitted, but you should document their use.

Distribution of Assignments

Usually paper copies of the assignment will be distributed in class. Electronic versions are available on the Class pages; follow the links below, or go through the Class Schedule page.

Submission of Assignments

Unless noted otherwise, assignments should be submitted electronically. Follow this link for directions.

Deadline and Late Submissions

The deadlines are specified on the assignment handout; you can also see the planned deadlines for future assignments on the Class Schedule. Assignments submitted late are subject to a 10% deduction per late day; no late assignments will be accepted after the solution has been distributed, or discussed in class.

Grading and Return of Assignments

Usually I give points for assignments, not letter grades. All the assignments for a course add up to 100 points, which is then scaled to the contributing factor with respect to the overall grade (e.g. 20%). Alternatively, I may use 100 points per assignment, with a weight factor for each individual assignment. Depending on the nature of the assignment, I may send an evaluation via email, or return the paper copy to you. I'll do my best to return the assignments within one week of the deadline, but sometimes it might take a little longer.
