Guidelines for Submission of Work

All work must be turned in on the assigned due date. Late work will be accepted at the discretion of the instructor.

You should follow the instructions with each assignment, which supersede these instructions.

By default, all work should be emailed to dbennett@edinboro.edu by class time of the assigned due date. The time stamp on the message will be used to determine timely submission.

All work must be clearly labeled with you name and information identifying the assignment.

Work in this class may consist of programming, written assignments, and presentations. All work should be performed in a professional manner.

Programs should:

• be well written and well documented.
• should compile without errors and warnings.
• solve the problem presented correctly.
• employ the proper data structures.
• employ efficient algorithms.
• be modular in design, flexible and extensible.
• be completed on time and submitted according to instructions.
• unless otherwise instructed, the programs must run on the department's lab machines.

• be neat and legible, preferably typed, especially if your handwriting and very poor.
• be completed on time and submitted according to instructions.

Presentations should:

• be prepared in advance and employ presentation software.
• include a hardcopy of the presentation for the instructor.
• include references.

Some assignments may have extra credit components.

If I accept late work, I will apply the following rules:

Late work will receive a percentage of the lowest score for work 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 work. The original late score still applies for others submitting late work. You must resubmit work within one week of its return for any change in grade.
