Homework Assignments

All homework assignments are due at the beginning of the next class.                   

Programming Projects

All programs must include a comment field at the very beginning of the document that includes the following information:

·       Project # <correct number inserted here>

·       your name

·       Comp 546

All programs must include adequate evidence of testing, e.g., input/output data trails.

The test data should be easily identifiable and place immediately after the relevant program that it is testing.

 

If a project consists of more than a single program, the project must include a cover sheet with the following information:

·       Project # <correct number inserted here>

·       your name

·       Comp 546

Place each program on a new page and label it with the page number and program number given in the textbook.

 

The goal is to complete all programs by the stated due date; however, if you have a problem with a particular problem, bring what you have, and I’ll give you some debugging assistance. If need be, you can submit the assignment one week late without penalty. Projects must be submitted on a timely basis; any project submitted more than two weeks after the due date will be rejected. Anyone trying to submit the majority of the projects during the last two weeks of the semester will fail the course.
