CSE 1310 - Assignments

There will be several programming assignments in this course. The following class policies regarding assignments will be followed:

• All assignments must run on a Python 3.x environment.
• All assignments must be submitted via Blackboard.
• No deadline extensions for the entire class will be provided. (See syllabus about policy on extensions for individuals, based on emergencies documented in writing).
• No extra credit will be provided.

While working with other persons on non-graded example problems from the textbook is a good way to help you develop your understanding and insight into the techniques of problem solving, homework solutions must be your work only. Violations of this will not be tolerated and result in severe penalties for all parties involved, in strict compliance to official UTA policy.

Late submission policy:

• All assignments are graded out of 100 points. Assignments submitted late will be penalized, at a rate of 2 penalty points per hour. The submission time will be the time shown on Blackboard. Any assignment submitted more than 50 hours late will receive no credit.
• Exceptions to late submission penalties will only be made for emergencies documented in writing, in strict adherence to UTA policy.
• Computer crashes, network crashes, and software or hardware failure will NOT be accepted as justification for late submission.
• If you find yourself in an emergency situation and can not deliver a homework on time, immediately inform the instructor and teaching assistant. Even if you have a valid reason for delivering late an assignment, you must make a convincing case that you have notified the instructor and teaching assistant as early as possible.

If you want to minimize chances of a late submission, aim to submit early. You can always revise your submission till the deadline.

Note: assignments whose due date is yet to be determined are tentative. They may be removed or significantly revised. New assignments may also be added.

• Assignment 0. Due Thursday 7/11/2013, 11:55pm.

  (You will get no credit for it. However, if you do not complete this you may have problems submitting the next assignments on time.) Log in to Blackboard and submit a single text file, titled "hello.txt", containing within the file only the text "hello world". This is just to verify that you know how use the Blackboard system correctly, before the first assignment is due.
