Due Dates

All scheduled homework assignments will be due on the date shown on the assignment and on the Lab Schedule section of this document. Late assignments will be penalized at the rate of 10% of the total possible points per week. Any assignment, which is not turned in on time, is immediately one week late. Of course, any points taken off for incorrect work are in addition to the lateness penalty. Obviously, at 10% per week, there is a point after which you cannot receive any credit for late work. Unless otherwise specified in class, no assignments will be accepted later than 5 P.M, December 11th, 1998.

Discrepancies in Grade Recording

It will be the responsibility of each student to keep track of his/her points on all quizzes, assignments, etc. You current standing in the course will be provided at this site during the semester. If there is any discrepancy, you should bring it to my attention immediately. For this reason, it is also strongly advised that you retain all graded assignments, quizzes, etc., as proof in case of discrepancies. Furthermore, you should not erase any programming assignment from your diskette until the end of the semester.
