Class Policies
Submission of solutions to machine problems is through email. Only completely working and specifications-compliant solutions will be considered for scoring.
Late submission of machine problems will incur deduction of 10pts per day late. No submission will be accepted for scoring 5 days after the deadline.
Students should make backup copies of all their work in this course. Coping with loss of work due to hardware failure is beyond this course.
Plagiarists and cheaters have a special place in hell. Always uphold honor and excellence.
