The programming assignments will be graded 80% on correctness and 20% on readability and documentation. All assignments must be turned in electronically. There is a 10% penalty for each day that the assignment is late. No points will be awarded if it is more than 5 days late. Exception requires a note from the dean's office or one from a physician.

Computer Science Academic Integrity Code

Academic honesty is required in all work you submit to be graded. You must solve all programming assignments entirely on your own. This means you must not show your program code, problem solutions, or work to other students. However, you may discuss assignment specifications with others in the class to be sure you understand what is required by the assignment. You may use code listed in the textbook or provided by the professor but from no other source. Falsifying program output or results is prohibited. Please see your professor if there are any questions about what is permissible. Cheating detection software will be employed. Students who are found cheating (this includes people who make their work available to others) will suffer a serious course grade penalty in addition to being reported to university officials. You must abide by JHU's Ethics Code, available at http://jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu/~ethicsbd.
