Programming Assignment Policies


1 Collaboration

You must write the code entirely on your own.

You may request help on general topics from other students and friends. You may also discuss the assignment itself with other students in the course. You may even get debugging assistance from other students in the course. However, when writing the actual code, you must do all of the work yourself. That is, you must not include code in your submission that you obtained from any source other than the instructor/teaching assistant.

2 Submission

All code and documentation written for the programming assignments must conform to the course style guides.

Individual assignments will have additional specific submission requirements.

3 Due Dates

Programming assignments submitted after the due date will not be accepted.

4 Grading

In general, grades on programming assignments will be based on style, documentation, and adequacy/correctness, but simplicity and elegance may also be a factor.

In some cases, grades on programming assignments may be based on effort.
