Major Assignments

Program assignments will be posted to WebCT Vista and any updates to these assignments will be made only to the web copy and announced in the class bulletin board (in WebCT Vista). Instructor solutions may be provided for some programs. If available, they will be accessible through WebCT (in WebCT Vista).

Individual Work Policy

• Students are expected to learn the material and work the assignments individually.
• You may not work with others on programs except that students are encouraged to assist one another in:
  • Using the computer tools (editor, compiler, linker, etc.) for class purposes and
  • Understanding C functions furnished by the compiler vendor or the course instructor.

PC Policy

• Program and project submissions shall be Virus Free. If a virus is found in the software and grade for the assignment will be zero (0).
• The instructor will not assist in setting up your home or portable computer or compiler.
• Support for errors (of any type) on systems besides School of Engineering computers will be limited.
• All programs must be in C and must be compiled in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET as Win32 console applications.

Turning In Assigned Programs

• Programs shall be turned in using WebCT Vista.
• A folder name blazerid_p# containing all source files (.c and .h) and the executable file (.exe) shall be created. Where ``blazerid'' is your blazerid and # is the assignment number.
• The folder should be converted to a .zip file.
• The .zip file should be uploaded into WebCT Vista using the assignment tool for the appropriate assignment.
• The date and time stamp of WebCT Vista will be used to determine when your assignment was turned-in. Be aware that this time might be a bit different than your watch so don't push the limit.
• Assignments are due at the start of the class session associated with the due date. An automatic extension to 11:59pm on the same day is granted for those students who attend class.
