Labs and Assignments
- Are due at 11:00PM. The due dates are strictly followed.
- Are graded automatically by AutoLab. Your program must compile without errors on Autolab – otherwise you will not receive any credit for the assignment. For each problem, your code will be tested using a suite of test cases, and you will receive credit for each case on which your code performs correctly. AutoLab will not display a score but it will give you feedback on your submitted program, which you can then update and submit again for grading. Always read the feedback!
- You have 3 submissions without deductions; 5% of the problem total points are deducted for every submission thereafter.
- Autolab uses the LAST SUBMISSION for the grade.
- Plan to submit your work with at least one day in advance. Depending on the load AutoLab may take up to 1 day to give you feedback. Note that if the system is busy it may take some time before it gets to your submission request. If the deadline passes while you are waiting, your assignment will not be accepted. In other words, if you try to hand in your work close to the end of the deadline, you may be too late.
- If you receive ODS accommodations for assignments, you will have the built-in extension dates to submit without any late penalty.
Labs
- Labs have a two-day built-in grace period. You can submit the lab up to 48 hours past the due date without incurring a late penalty.
- Tokens do not apply to labs.
