CS341 Fall 1999
Programming Assignment Guidelines

Permitted Programming Languages

C, C++, Java

Submission

Program documentation and testing documentation are to be submitted in printed form, and code is to be submitted electronically by using the submit command. The same deadlines apply to electronic submissions as to paper ones.

For example, to submit the code part of assignment 2:

make sure that your current directory contains all and only those files that you want to submit,
run command:

submit cs341 2

You can read more about submit in manual pages (man submit). The TAs may examine and run submitted code, so you have to submit a Makefile, such that all necessary executables (usually just one) are built by simply typing 'make' in the undergrad environment. Executables should also be included in your submission.

General marking scheme

The programming part will be marked based on the following general scheme:

60% for the basic program, split up into:

20% for correct and effective implementation
10% for style (code documentation etc.)
30% for design documentation and a test report (hard copy)

40% for discussions of effectiveness, optimizations, statistical analyses

Authorship

The requirement to do your own work applies to programs the same as to written assignments.
