POLICY ON COLLABORATION:

The purpose of the assignments is familiarization of concepts and details of C++ and UNIX systems programming. The assignments are individual projects. However, you are encouraged to ask questions of one another, and to respond to other student's questions. Direct exchange of code is prohibited, as is line-by-line assistance.

Exams are closed-book. No outside assistance is permitted. No additional materials may be used. Absence due to serious illness will be an acceptable reason for missing an exam. Doctor's diagnostic note is required. The final grade will be scaled accordingly.
