Assignments and Exams (What you'll be doing!)

Programming assignments. Students will complete three programming assignments.

Written homework. Students will complete four written homework.

Exam. There will be one final exam.

Late hand-in policy. Each student has a total of 9 late days for 4 written homeworks + 3 programming assignments. Using 1 late day extends the deadline by 24 hours. There is no limit on the number of late days per homework/assignment. No homework/assignment will be accepted for more than 9 days after the deadline. Late homework/assignments will not be accepted if you are out of late days, so use the late days wisely!
