Project Assignments
Programming projects will consist of larger programs to develop that help you build your problem-solving skills. You can download the assignments, provided below:

correctness (C)

style (S)

bonus (B)

If you work with a partner, both you and your partner will receive the same correctness and style grades for that assignment. See below for information about having partners.

At the end of the semester, we add the style and correctness points from ALL projects to yield a total amount of core points for your project score. We will drop the equivalent of one project. So, if the maximum number of project points is 60 (from doing 6 projects), we will count the first 50 points you acheive. For example, suppose you score the following for 6 projects: 4/5/0, 4/5/0, 4/5/0, 4/5/5, 4/5/1, 4/5/0. You would have a total of 54 core points for your projects. A score of 54 ot of 50 gives you a pefect score of 50! (We'll also throw the "left-over" 4 points into your bonus score...nothing gets wasted!)

We expect projects to teach you how to solve more complex/larger problems. We grade mostly for feedback to let you know how you are doing. To reduce stress, projects are worth a relatively "small" percentage of the course score. Plus, we will not require you to do all the projects perfectly to get a perfect project score (see Grading, above).  Thus, as long as you make a sincere effort on most of the projects, you should get a good project score.

• Java style
• MATLAB style

Submit homework in lecture on the due date. You may submit in either lecture, but no later!

Submit homework in Carpenter Lab for early submissions only. You must give the project to a consultant, personally!

Submit only ONE copy of your project, even if you work with a partner.

For each project you must do the following:

Print all your work as hardcopy, such as programs, output, and discussion answers. Please, no disks!

Include the grading form posted along with each project. Print and fill out one for each partner.

Include a title sheet and table of contents (you may combine on 1 sheet of paper) after the grading form(s).

Staple or bind together all sheets of paper. "Bind" means ring or folder, not twist-ties, string, or such nuisances

Submit entire code unless directed otherwise.

Type all work and responses to discussion questions.

Include the following comment block (e.g., % for MATLAB and // for Java) with your information filled in at the top of each program:

	Name:	your name	Partner:	partner's name
	ID:	your ID	ID:	partner's ID
	Section:	your section's instructor, day, time	Section:	partner's section's instructor, day, time
	Date:	due date
	Project:	number and title

Ensure correct alignment of tab stops in programs with no "chopped"  line of code.

Projects are usually graded in about 1 week.

We usually return graded assignments in section, athough sometimes we choose Carpenter because of due date near prelims.

You may retrieve unclaimed assignments from the consultants at Carpenter Lab at the end of the week in which they were returned in sections.

You can have only one partner for each project.

You cannot have different partners for different parts of the project.

You can pick a different partner for each project.

You and your partner receive the same correctness and style grade for the entire project.

You and your partner may attend different sections.

You must submit only one project with both your names, IDs, signatures, and section information, as specified in the Submission Rules.

You cannot take your exams with a partner.

You should avoid "divorcing" partners before submitting your project. Why? What if your partner submits a duplicate version of your programs? All the graders will see is an academic violation, so be careful.
