Grading

60% homework
30% project
10% participation

Homework

There will be 3 late days for the semester, giving you an extra 24 hours of time past the due date. They cannot be used fractionally and multiple can be used at once.
Other late assignments will not be accepted, barring exceptional circumstances (email me in advance if possible)
All the code you write for homework should be standards compliant and portable (work on any machine and C++17 compiler). This means you should be careful of undefined behavior. In case your code does behave strangely, we will grade on eniac.
Instructions for accessing the eniac server can be found here
The standard academic integrity rules apply. In addition, do not copy code. You should write all of your own code. Low level (e.g. syntax) and high level (e.g. concepts) discussions are encouraged.
Do not post your homework solutions publicly (Github, etc), even after the course ends.
