Assignment Policy

Late work is strongly discouraged. Late assignments will be penalized 10% per day. No assignments will be accepted more than 5 days late (weekend and holidays do count).

Incorrect assignments (e.g., submitting the wrong file, forgetting to include your partner's name, etc. ) will be assessed a penalty of 10%. Programs that do not compile/run will receive a deduction of 10-20% (in addition to points lost for missing features).

Assignments and projects will be graded and returned as quickly as possible, generally within two weeks.
