Homework in this class is intended to provide students practice with the concepts discussed in class and in the book. True understanding is only available with practice.
Homework should be turned in to the instructor at the beginning of class. If you are unable to do this, please place it in my mail box in the main office. DO NOT slide your homework under my door. The only paper on the floor in my office is trash, and I throw that away.
All homework must be presented in a professional manner. Essay type questions must be typed, circuits should be drawn using circuit simulation software, other diagrams should be produced using appropriate software.
Proper identifying information is required for all homework. Each homework should include your name, class, and information about which homework it is. Each problem should include a problem number, or possibly a copy of the problem statement/question.
Code, circuits and diagrams should include comments/labels
Make sure that you use plenty of white space to make your work readable.
I reserve the right to deduct points for sloppy work.
Programs in this class is intended to provide students practice with the concepts discussed in class and in the book. True understanding is only available with practice.
Programs must be turned in on the assigned due date. No late programs will be accepted.
Programs should:
Late homework will receive a percentage of the lowest score for homework submitted on time, or of those submitted late before it. For example if Sue submits a program on time, but receives a 70%, Bill who turns in a program late can only receive a maximum of 70%. If he has errors worth 20% (or should have received an 80%), he will only receive a 56% (.7*.8). If Jane submits the assignment later then Bill, the maximum score she can receive is 56%, and this again will be further reduced for mistakes, so if she receives a 60%, her score will be 34%.
If you turn your assignment in on time or early, you may at your option, resubmit it once after performing corrections and receive a higher score. This option is not available to late submissions, or to submissions judged by the instructor to be simply place holders for late homework. The original late score still applies for others submitting late work.
Resubmissions must be made submitted within one week of the time the program is graded. The resubmission may be regraded completely. Resubmission of a program may or may not result in s a higher score based upon the corrections performed. All feedback is expected to be incorporated into resubmissions.
The resubmission policy is not available for programs submitted during the last week or classes or finals week.
You are responsible for ALL code submitted. You should know what this code does and be able to explain how the code works. I may, at my option, require an oral code review for any program submitted.
