Requirements for Passing

To pass this course, you have to

• successfully turn in all written and programming assignments,
• successfully pass the midterm exam, and
• successfully pass the competition.

Policies on Handing in Assignments

• All assignments have to be done in groups of no more than three people. The groups configuration can change between assignments.

• Every assignment has to be turned in on time, and each group will only have to turn in each assignment once per group.

• Every individual student will be granted a total of six late days. Those late days can be applied to any homework assignment, or the pre-competition results (but not the competition). When an assignment or part of an assignment is turned in late, all students associated with the assignment accrue the sane number of late days.

  In the unlikely case that all late days have been used up, assignments will be worth zero points (but still have to be turned in for passing this course).

In the interest of the trees in this world, the instructors prefer to run this course paper-free. Programming and written assignments must be turned in electronically via email to cs223b+submit@gmail.com.

Policy on Teaming

• Homework assignments. You are encouraged to work in teams of up to three people for written and programming assignments.

• Competition: You are encouraged to work in teams of up to three people for the class competition.

Policy on Grading

The grade will break down as follows:

• Written and programming assignments: 30%
• Midterm exam: 30%
• Competition and pre-competition: 40%
