Late Policy

All of the assignments and exercises are due at 11:59 PM on the due date. You have 5 free late days that you can use any time during the semester.

No late presentations will be permitted for the final project.

Collaboration Policy

You may discuss assignments with others, but everything handed in must be your own work. All code must be your own - you may not use code from your classmates, the internet, or any other source.

Submitting Your Work

Please submit your solutions to the programming assignments electronically, by creating a .zip or .tar.gz file containing your code, results, and a README (in plain text or HTML) and attaching it to an email to funk at princeton edu. Please include "COS526" in the subject line of the email.

The answers to written exercises should also be submitted electronically via email. Plain text is preferred.
