LATE PROGRAMS: Programs are due at the beginning of class on the date specified. Late programs will be accepted until the first class meeting past the date due. If turned in late but on the due date, 10% will be taken off. From then to the next class meeting 20% will be taken off. After that, the program will not be accepted except in special circumstances. Many program assignments will have an optional extra credit component However, extra credit cannot produce an average higher than 100%. In addition to a paper copy of your program, data, and output, you will send a copy of your source code and any data files as attachments to my grader using yahoo email. MAKE - UP TESTS: Except in special circumstances, NO MAKE-UP tests will be given. The final will be counted twice if you miss a test. CURVE: No curve is guaranteed. If I feel a curve is justified at the end of the semester, then one will be applied to your final average. The curve will NEVER be larger than 10 points and is typically a point or two. PROGRAMS : Programs will be written in Java and run on a Unix or Linux system. The example programs in this booklet were tested in Netbeans, version 5.5. have Some also been tested on Linux. Before the semester ends, I hope to have tested all of them there. You will be given permanent ids to our Linux machines. Seven(7) program assignments will be made. Programs will be due approximately every two weeks. WHAT TO TURN IN: When turning in a program assignment, all I want is a printout. Do not fold the printout. Write your NAME, SECTION, and the PROGRAM NUMBER and PROGRAM NAME on the page in large clear letters. The printout will be a
shell script containing: Source code Compilation command Input data file(s) (if present) Run command Program execution Output file(s) (if present) OTHER DATES OF INTEREST: Oct 2 is the last day to drop or withdraw with a Q/W. (YOUR FIRST TEST WILL BE GIVEN ON OR BEFORE THIS DAY .) Nov 9 is the last day to drop or withdraw. (YOUR SECOND TEST WILL BE GIVE ON OR BEFORE THIS DAY.) COLLUSION ON ASSIGNMENTS : If I feel that two programs are too similar, the grade given both programs will be zero (0). This imposes a burden on you that you not allow others to copy your programs. This may mean not throwing old versions away at school, as students have been known to remove programs from the wastebasket to copy them. Furthermore, you are not to obtain assistance from others on how to write the algorithm for the solution of a program. You may ask for help on removing a syntactic or semantic error from a program already written. THIS BOOKLET ON DISK: All of these files can be downloaded from cs.lamar.edu. I can also make you a copy of everything on a CD or flash memory. EMAIL : [e-mail]
