Rounded Rectangle: Late Policy
Late assignments will not be accepted unless verifiable documentation of a legitimate reason for their lateness is provided to the instructor. Legitimate reasons are li-mited to documented medical problems. If you are una-ble to attend on an assignment due date for illegitimate reasons, then you will be expected to submit the as-signment early. Late (or early) exam arrangements must be made in writing with the instructor.

     
               
 
Rounded Rectangle: Academic Misconduct
Collaboration on the design of programs is en-couraged in this course, but showing code to other students is considered academic miscon-duct by all students involved. Whether receiving assistance from classmates, tutors, or the in-structor, you are expected to write your own code in order to demonstrate your understand-ing of the concepts being explored.
