Homework Submission Policies |
These policies generally apply to all programming parts of homework assignments. However, particular assignments may have specific instructions, which take precedence over these. Deadlines and procedures for other parts of homework assignments or other assignments will be announced as necessary.
Web submission cut-offs are given in the instructions for each homework.
Submission of written/printed material is at the beginning of class period (lecture or lab, depending on the assignment). Loose pages should generally be stapled together (and there won't necessarily be a stapler available in class!). To ensure prompt grading, clearly label your work (for example, the first page for lecture submission) with the following information in really, really big print:
You may lose points if you do not follow these instructions.
Barring exceptional circumstances, web submission of homework will not be accepted after the cut-off time specified in the instructions for the homework. Web submissions will be accepted but marked as late for a few minutes after the due time, to take into account small differences between clocks, but will stop working soon after.
Even though late homework is not accepted, you are still encouraged to complete
all assignments as a learning experience, and may ask your TA if s/he has time
to discuss them with you, even if you cannot receive credit.
When you submit your program using the turn-in mechanism, we immediately compile it using Sun's JDK compiler. The compiler warnings and errors, if any, are copied into the "receipt" page. If you see compiler errors, your program did not compile with our compiler. It is your responsibility to figure out why, to fix your program so that it will compile, and to go through the turn-in procedure again.
Your program is generally not run at the time you turn it in. Instead, we may run it later, while grading it.
