Grading

25% Final exam - Monday May 2, 1:30 pm - 4 pm
15% Midterm exam
45% Programming assignments
15% Problem sets/homework

All programming assignments and problem sets are due by start of class or recitation on their respective due dates, unless otherwise noted.  Programming assignments and problem sets must be submitted either by uploading them to the moodle class Web page or by handing them in to the TA in recitation, unless otherwise noted.  

The late policy for programming assignments is as follows: maximum 90% of original points if submitted within 24 hours of the due date; no credit if submitted one day or more after the due date. 

Late problem sets will not be accepted, unless otherwise noted by the instructor. 

For both programs and problem sets, we highly encourage you to submit even partially finished work for partial credit.  Extensions will not be granted except at the instructor's discretion in documented cases of extreme hardship. 

All programming assignments must be written in C and compiled for execution on the Linux operating system in the CSEL Linux cluster, unless otherwise noted.  The TA will grade your programs on the CSEL Linux machines.

All programming assignments and problem sets should be your original work, unless otherwise noted.
