Assignments

Notes on Lab & Homework grading:

• No credit for late homework.
• Late labs will be penalized 10% per day including weekend days.
• Make sure your lab write-ups include all required parts (e.g., diagrams, data, etc. as requested)
• Please do not submit labs/homeworks by email unless I ask you to do so--follow submission instructions (wiki vs. paper. vs. email).
• Make sure your name and the date are on each page. Print and staple pages together at HOME -- do not ask to print or staple during class on the day that it is due.
• When are completing a reading assignment, be sure to take notes and put them in your notebook. Your notes should capture the key concepts/terminology so that you can simply review your notes to prepare for a quiz or test. Don't go overboard with "notes;" copying down an entire chapter is overkill!
• When submitting program files via email to Jim for grading...
  • Only use this submission method if directed in the assignment.
  • Only submit via email if you are sure your assignment works.
  • Submit your main.c file as a text file attachment with this naming format: lastname_assignment.txt
  • Incorrect submissions will be ignored!
