There will be several programming and written assignments in this course. Programming assignments have to run on the ACS machine omega, unless permission is obtained from the instructor or the teaching assistant. All homework submissions (written and programming) must be submitted via Blackboard. Also, the following class policies will be followed:
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 will only be made for emergencies documented in writing, in strict adherence to UTA policy. The best strategy is to aim to submit early, you can always revise your submission till the deadline. If you find yourself in an emergency situation and can not deliver a homework on time,
immediately inform the instructor and teaching assistant.
You do not have to submit anything, and you will get no credit for it. However, if you do not complete this you may have problems submitting the next assignments on time.
