Here are some things to keep in mind:
- Turn in all assignments on time. You don't want to let assignments pile up, nor do we want to be grading old assignments later in the semester.
- Submissions should always include the .cpp file. If you'd like, you can also include a .doc with the code and screenshots if desired.
- Coding Environment: You can code wherever you like, but remember that your code will be graded in a UNIX environment (i.e. Rabbit), unless it's a graphics program.
- Grading: Grades out of 100 will be given for each assignment (unless otherwise noted). Getting the right solution is not more important than attacking the problem
in a logical way with clear, well-managed code. (see our
Writing Clear Code page).
- Remember: As your TAs, we're here to help you. Please ask questions. We're here because we want to help you.
That being said, make sure you work on a problem before blindly asking for help.
- We hope that you have a great time learning programming from both your professor and us! Programming is not only helpful on its own, it also helps you learn
problem-solving and analytical thinking.
