Lab exercises and project assignments will be posted here weekly each Wednesday. The usual deadline is the following Tuesday night at midnight. But there are some exceptions. The work in lab will lead into and be part of the week's project. Labs will also count significantly towards participation.

| Labs |
The work in lab will lead into and be part of the week's project. Labs will also count significantly towards participation. During each lab, the instructor will not be able to answer questions about any projects until you have completed the exercises for that lab. |
| Projects |
Programming projects involve completing more significant programs as well as a writeup describing the work completed in the project. Each project will have a set of suggested extensions. The required tasks constitute about 83% of the assignment, and if you do only the required tasks and do them well you will earn a B. To earn a higher grade, you need to undertake at least one extension. The difficulty and quality of the extension or extensions will determine your final grade for the assignment. One significant extension, or 2-3 smaller ones, done well, is typical. Every student is allowed a free 4-day extension to one project. Let us know when you are taking your "freebie". Other late projects will be given reduced grades. Programming projects are graded on a 30 point scale. For each day late (up to four days), your grade will be reduced by 3 points. Projects more than four days late will not be accepted. Also, the freebie will not be accepted if it is submitted more than 4 days after the due date. |
