Packaging and submitting your solution

You should pack up all of the components of your solution in a ZIP using relative folder paths. Please name the ZIP file HW#.zip, where # is the number of the homework assignment. For example, Homework 1 should be submitted in a ZIP named HW1.zip. The ZIP file should be E-Mailed (via attachment) to the instructor or a placed on a floppy disk. Verify that you can run your solution after unzipping it yourself. Zips are required for E-Mail, but not for floppy or CD-R.

Assignment and Project (Exam) Policy

            Assignments are intended to take 2-5 hours of work per week. Reading and code examination is expected to take 5-15 hours of work per week. Many students have found the initial assignments to be more difficult than the later assignments. Many students have found the assignments to take considerably longer.

            Collaboration with homework assignments is actively encouraged between students. If students wish to team up in XP (Xtreme Programming, or "Agile Development") style, such effort will be encouraged and considered extremely beneficial not only to the learning experience, but to industry productivity. E143 will actively encourage teamwork, and yes, I do admire coach Belichick and hope the Pats win again this year.

            That being said (here comes the right foot), please remember that certification and projects are very individual activities. Each student must individually show a comprehensive understanding of the material. The course of instruction will use individual projects and certification exams to determine individual accomplishment.

            Also, please note that the assignment text, notes, and demonstration code may be changed at any time up to the date of the assignment.
