Assignments & Grading

The homework assignments will be released and submitted through the Course Management System.

As this is a S/U course, to complete it successfully you need a "pass" on all of the homework assignments on C programming. For each assignment, you need to earn at least 70 points to "pass". This course follows the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity. Each student in this course is expected to abide by the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity. You should not discuss solutions to the assignments with your classmates. This not only implies that you should have written them but also that you should understand them! You are free to consult books and online resources, but you will have to properly cite them.
