Programs / Assignments
All program files and assignments will be handed in on Blackboard unless specified otherwise.
Details will be provided later. Make sure that you have a
Blackboard account setup and update your email to a valid one.
Late programs/assignments may be accepted, but will lose 10 points per day they are late. Holidays and weekends
are still days and will count as a loss of 10 points. You will receive full credit for assignments/lab exercises just
by doing them on time. Details for the full grading scheme will be posted later.
Other requirements may be requested as needed for different
projects.
Deviations from instructions, even for naming and submission of files will result in point loss.
Homeworks and projects should be zipped up using one of the following applications:
The zip/archive file should be named as the following:
lastname_firstname_HW#
Where HW# will be the homework number assigned. An example for HW #1:
levy_jamie_HW1.zip
The resulting file will then be uploaded onto Blackboard's digital
dropbox. In the name location you should write:
HW #
(Where # will be replaced by the number of the homework you are turning
in) Your name will show up on the other side, so don't worry.

Email Policy
Please understand that I get several emails a day from various
places. If your email does not contain "CS 80" [without quotes] in
the subject, I cannot guarantee that I will read it. So to ensure that
your email will reach me, please place CS 80 in the subject line,
otherwise it may be trashed. Also, please place your name somewhere
within the message so that I will know who you are.
In the past I have accepted assignments by email, however this policy
has changed. Programming assignments must be turned in on blackboard from now on.
Also, most email programs are currently blocking VB files for
security reasons so it will be easier to upload projects instead of
emailing them. In the event of a problem with Blackboard, assignments
may be emailed to an account created solely for that purpose. Details
will be provided later.
Cell Phones and Other Electronic Devices
I understand the need to keep in touch with loved ones,
and that cell phones are the easiest way for others to keep track of us.
However, I expect that all cell phones, pagers etc. will be inaudible during class.
Any student with an electronic device that disrupts the class runs the risk of
losing points from his/her average (per occurrence).
If an electronic device disrupts the class during an exam,
the student will loose points from his/her exam.
