CPSC 101: Computer Programming II

Lab assignments are typically due on Fridays.

Homework is to be submitted through Moodle unless otherwise noted. submissions are normally unlimited in number. If you have difficulty resubmitting an assignment, e-mail an instructor.

Formal project documents may be summitted as .pdf documents through Moodle. Paper subussions are also ok.

This late policy attempts to balance:

• rewarding students who manage their time effectively,
• encouraging students to complete assignments,
• discouraging perfectionism,
and
• maintaining a sane environment for markers.

This policy applies especially to programming homework. Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day that they are due. Assignments received after the beginning of class are late.

Assignments that are late have the maximum possible mark reduced. For instance, for a programming assignment that is graded out of 50 marks that is handed in at the beginning of the lecture after it was due, the maximum possible mark is 43. If you would have scored 47/50, you score 43/50; if you would have scored 42/50, you still score 42/50.

In other words, there are diminishing rewards for perfect work. If your assignment is a week late already, just hand something in, and move on.

All programming assignments will be received up until the end of the course, and the maximum possible mark will never drop below 50% of the assignment mark. The maximum possible mark drops to 50% when solutions or partial solutions are distributed in class, but you will receive warning should I decide to distribute solutions.

The tolerance for late project assignments is different, because late assignments affect a lot of people. If your group foresees trouble meeting a project deadline, e-mail the instructor before the due date.
