CSci 241 - Programming guidelines:

• You must apply for an account for the PCs in McGlothlin-Street Hall 002 by September 8, 2003. You are not required to do your work on these machines, however, all consulting help will be done using the machines in this lab and projects must be submitted from a lab machine.
• You must send me an email address by September 8, 2003. I use email to contact the class when I need to pass along additional information -- particularly about programming assignments. After September 8, you will be responsible for all class information broadcast using electronic mail.
• All programs must be written in C++.
• No credit will be given for programs that do not compile. Points may be deducted for programs that compile with warning messages.
• Your code will be graded using the g++ compiler, which is available to you on the machines in McGlothlin-Street Hall 002. If you work on your own machine, be sure your program compiles and runs correctly using this compiler.
• Points will be deducted for programs that violate the specifications laid out in the homework assignment. Major deviations from the program specification may produce a grade of 0.
• Regardless of program execution, points will be deducted if the code is poorly written or designed. In particular, pointer implementations will be scrutinized closely for errant pointer values.
• Many of the projects will be based on work turned in for previous projects. Points will be deducted for "past sins", mistakes identified by the graders in an earlier version of your program that remain uncorrected in a later version.
• No late assignments will be accepted beyond the allocated 5 slip days.
