Homework submission

Homework can be submitted via Blackboard. If you are taking the course but cannot access the CIS 500 Blackboard, please contact one of the TAs.

When submitting Coq files as homeworks, please make sure that Coq accepts your file in its entirety. If it does not, it will not be graded. You can use Admitted to force Coq to accept incomplete proofs.

Homework is due before class. Late homework submissions will be accepted for up to three days, with a 25% reduction in credit per late day (25% for one day, 50% for two, and 75% for three). Solutions will be posted on Blackboard.
