Make sure that you carefully read the assignment specifications for each
assignment! (This is a set of general guidelines for all
assignments and each assignment may have a more specific set of things for you
to do). At a minimum each assignment must contain the following contact
information: the course name (CPSC), the course number (203), the section
number (L91).
Email your first two assignments (word processing and spreadsheet) to your
TA and
myself. For your piece of
mind you might also want to include yourself as the recipient (in case there
are mail problems and your TA and I don't receive your letter by the due
date). It is your responsibility to make sure that you get
the assignment sent in before the due date and with the proper file attached.
(Come see me if you are unsure how to do this and I can show you how).
Extensions will not be granted to students who don't properly submit their
assignments on time (e.g., if the student forgot to attach the proper file or
if the student forgot to send the email).
You only need to submit your last two project assignments to me (although
you if you are sending them through email you again may want to include
yourself as the recipient). The specifics of the way in which you hand
in your project may depend upon
the particular project that
you choose.
All assignments are due at 4 PM on the
due dates listed on the
course web page. Late assignments will be marked with a penalty of
one full letter for each day that the assignment is late (e.g., Handing in an
assignment one day late means that the maximum grade that you can attain is a
'B', after two days the maximum grade is a 'C', after three days it's a 'D',
assignments which are more than 3 days late will not be accepted for marking).
Extensions may be granted by the course instructor with the receipt of the
appropriate documentation (e.g., a doctor's note). Tutorial instructors
(TA's) will not be able to provide extension on their own and must receive
permission from the course instructor first. In all other cases due
dates will be strictly enforced, late assignments will be marked with either
the penalties listed above (within 3 days) or they won't be accepted for
marking (later than 3 days).
Assignments must reflect individual work,
group work is not allowed in this class nor can you copy the work of others.
Students are encouraged to discuss the assignments (as well as the
theoretical concepts laid out in the
course outline). However
all work that is handed in for grading must be the original work of the
student. Any student found copying another student's work or another source
will be reported to the Associate Head who may enforce penalties such as
failing the course or even expulsion from the university. Also students who
provide their work to another student may also be reported to the Associate
Head. See Plagiarism/Cheating/Other Academic Misconduct in the university
calendar for further details.
