Class Participation

As discussed in responsibilities, your participation involves:

Exams

As noted above, there will be one midterm examination and one final for the semester. (Note: I may change the final to be an earlier midterm instead) Details and dates will be released as they are available. Please read the section on accommodations if you are need of extra time. You must inform me of accommodations or conflicts at least 2 weeks in advance of an exam.

Lab assignment policy

Lab assignments are submitted electronically and managed using git. Programs are typically due by 11:59 p.m. on the due date. You may submit your assignment multiple times, but each submission overwrites the previous one and only the final submission will be graded. Most of the programming/lab assignments will provide the option of working in pairs. There may also be some written assignments that will have specific instructions for handing in.

Late Policy: Each individual will be given 2 late days for the semester. A late day is a 24 hour extension from the original deadline. You can use one day on two assignments or both days on one assignment. This will encompass any reason - illness, interviews, paper deadlines, etc. Past these days, late assignments will not be accepted except in very rare, extreme circumstances. In those cases, a penalty of 20% per late day will be assigned. You should budget your days to account for future illnesses or assignment deadlines for other courses. Even if you do not fully complete a lab assignment you should submit what you have done to receive partial credit. Late days count against both partners in a group lab.
