Assignments will be weighted by difficulty and will be graded on design, style, documentation, correctness, and completeness.  Assignments are NOT turned-in to the Department Office NOR slid under the instructor's office door. Those assignments that are to be turned-in via paper must be turned-in at the start of the specified lecture.

Late assignments receive an automatic 20% penalty and an additional reduction of 20% for every additional week.  If you are unable to take an examination or if you miss an assignment due  date because of illness or emergency, you must present verifying written documentation.
