Assignments

CPSC 641 will have two equally-weighted assignments. Each assignment will be graded on a percentage scale. In aggregate, the assignments count 30% toward your final grade in CPSC 641.

Assignments are to be done individually. The assignments will take place in the first half of the course, to provide experience with networking research methods, and to avoid interfering with class presentations or course projects.

Completed assignments are to be submitted in hardcopy form to your instructor on or before the stated deadline. Assignments will be graded and returned to you within one week.
