cs3157 submission policy

• All labs and homeworks must be submitted electronically, according to the instructions at the end of each lab and homework assignment. In general, this is by running either ~cs3157/bin/submit-lab or ~cs3157/bin/submit-hw.
• You are responsible for making sure that you run the submit script on time. The submission date and time for your assignments (as used when evaluating lateness) are based on the time that you ran the submit script.
• You are responsible for making sure that the right files get submitted. In general, the submit script does NOT pick up files that are executable or binary (though I modify the script for perl and sh assignments to pick up those types of scripts which are executable).
• You are responsible for following the directions given with each lab and homework assignment. Pretend this class is a job and you are a programmer. I am your boss, and I am giving you programming and design specifications which I expect you to follow!
• If for any reason you deviate from the instructions, or if you have anything special you need to convey to the grader about your assignment, or if there are portions of your code which are incomplete or which you know do not run, then you are responsible for noting these things in the README file which you submit with your assignment.
• All non-CGI code must compile and run on either the CS CLUSTER (SunOS) or CS CLIC (Linux) machines, for both homeworks and labs.
• All CGI code must compile and run on the CS CLUSTER machine, for both homeworks and labs.
• All BROWSER code (HTML, Javascript, etc) must work with MOZILLA/FIREFOX, for both homeworks and labs.
• If your assignment does not compile, then the TAs are asked to spend no more than ONE MINUTE trying to fix it. If they can fix it in less than a minute, then they will grade the assignment as if nothing went wrong (e.g., often students comment code at the last minute and then leave off a comment character somewhere, which the TAs can add and then the code will compile). However, if the problems are more significant, then the most you can receive on the assignment is 50%. You are responsible for submitting code that compiles and runs. It is MUCH BETTER to submit a smaller program that compiles and runs and only completes a portion of the assignment than to submit code that takes a stab at everything but won't compile.
