(Feb. 06) GRACE DAYS POLICY: All assignments are due at the beginning of your tutorial; quarter past the hour is late. Late assignments must be handed in to the 228 drop box. Late assignments will be handled based on a system of "grace days", as follows: Each student begins the term with 3 grace days. An assignment handed in by 4:00 on the due date uses up one grace day; if handed in by 4:00 the following Monday it uses up 3 grace days. The project plan and final report cannot be handed in late. The grace days are intended for use in emergencies (e.g., printer failure or TTC breakdown). Do not use them to buy an extension because of a busy week or you will be out of luck in a true emergency. If you are at risk of missing a deadline due to a busy week, rather than use your grace days, you should hand in a working (and tested) version of a simpler program.
(Feb. 06) Your assignment consist of two parts: your code, which you will submit electronically (using the web interface at the cdf site, or using the command line "submit", also @ cdf) and a written part (a.k.a. the report), which you should handle to your TA in the appropriate section. For further information type "man submit".
