Grading
25%
Final exam - Monday December 14, 10:30 am - 1 pm
15% Midterm exam

All
programming assignments and homeworks are due by start of class on
their
respective
due dates, unless otherwise noted. Programming
assignments and homeworks must be submitted by uploading them to the
moodle class Web page, unless otherwise noted. The
late policy for programming assignments is as follows: 10% off if
submitted within 24 hours of the due date; 20% off if submitted 24-48
hours after the due date; no credit if submitted two days or more after
the due date. Late
homeworks will not be accepted, unless otherwise noted
by the
instructor. For both
programs and homework sets, we highly encourage you to submit even
partially finished work for partial credit. Extensions
will not be granted except at the instructor's discretion in documented
cases of
extreme hardship.
Grading for
graduate students in 5273 will be evaluated separately from grading for
undergraduate students in 4273. As the occasion warrants, certain
assignments may have a higher degree of difficulty for graduate
students.
All programming assignments must be written in C and compiled for execution on the Linux operating system in the CSEL Linux cluster, unless otherwise noted. The TA will grade your programs on the CSEL Linux machines.
Announcements
Problem sets and programming assignments will be posted on the moodle class Web page.
