Remember the honesty policy (included in the Syllabus): Do not turn in anything but your own work.

Homework is to be submitted in two forms :
electronically, by "submit" script on atlas before the start of class on the specified due date (see detailed instructions below);
hard copy printout, which will be collected at some point during the class on the specified due date.

Late homework will not in general be graded and will scored as a 0. Consult the instructor beforehand if circumstances beyond your control will prevent you from meeting the due date and time.

The plan is to discuss each homework assignment in class on the due day, so come to class prepared to explain your answers to the exercises. One third of your total homework score for the course will be based on your participation when called upon. Everyone will have the same number of opportunities to participate during the course of the term.

The electronic form of your homework submission may be displayed by projector using vi in order to facilitate discussion in class, so export any .doc files to .txt format, and for any text file created on a Windows PC use "dos2unix" on atlas to clean it up before submitting it.

The instructor or the teaching assistant may compile and test any code in homework, so you may want to do the same before turning it in.
