Homeworks
There will be 4 homework assignments. All are to be completed individually. Please see the academic honesty policy of the Computer Science Department. All assignments will be announced on Wednesday in class, and will be due at 5pm on Friday of the following week. All assignments must be submitted electronically. Cunix accounts are required for the course. You may implement your assignments using Eclipse or Cunix, but all assignments must compile and run on Cunix. You will need your UNI and password to log on to Cunix. If you don't know your UNI, please take a look at the CUIT UNI page. Two grace days are provided for your benefit. Grace days may only be used in whole. For example, if you submit your assignment on Friday at 8pm; you will have used one grace day. You may use both grace days on a single assignment, in which case you need to submit the assignment by 5pm on Sunday. You may also use grace days on two assignments, one day on each. In that case both assignments are due no later than 5pm on Saturday. If you have used up your grace days and submit an assignment late, your assignment will not be accepted. |
