CPSC 203: Assignment Submission Guidelines (A1 & A2)1

Points to keep in mind:

  1. 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).
  1. Late assignments or components of assignments will not be accepted for marking without approval beforehand.
  1. 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 will only direct you back to myself.  (Note: Forgetting to hand your assignment or a component of your assignment in does not constitute a sufficient reason for handing your assignment in late). In all other cases due dates will be strictly enforced, late assignments will not be accepted for grading.
  1. Be sure to include standard contact information so your TA can match grades with students, excluding this information may result in your grade not being recorded properly (i.e., you received a zero for the assignment because your TA didn't know who to assign the grade to).
 
  • Your Name
  • Your University Identification Number
  • The course name (CPSC) and number (203)
  • The Tutorial that you are registered in
  • Your TA's name
  • The Assignment Number
  1. The first two assignments must reflect individual work, group work will not be allowed.  You can only complete the third assignment while working in a group.
  1. Send assignments as an email attachment to the following people (failing to include everyone listed below may result in your assignment not being marked for credit so before submitting your assignment double check that you haven't missed anyone!) Make sure that the subject line of the email contains the exact text (don't add or delete anything to it or you could lose marks - mail filters work by looking for specific words in the subject line): "CPSC 203 Assignment X"
 
  1. The course instructor at the following email address: tamj@cpsc.ucalgary.ca
 
  1. Your tutorial instructor, the email addresses for the TA's can be found on the main course web page.
 
  1. Yourself. Sending the assignment to yourself provides one last "double check" that you submitted your assignment properly (e.g., you sent it to all the right people, you attached all the important files to the submission etc...you should actually open the file attachments and check the files rather than just looking at the email). When you receive the submitted assignment you can check one last time to make sure that you fulfilled all the requirements. If you forgot something then you can resend your assignment with a note to mark only the latest submission (but try not to resubmit your assignment too many times please).
X = The appropriate assignment number (e.g., for Assignment 1 the subject would be titled "CPSC 203 Assignment 1", for Assignment 2 the subject would be titled "CPSC 203 Assignment 2")

1 The third assignment will be completed in the form of a Wiki (editable web page) that does not require an electronic submission.
