Homework Submission and Grading Policies

Submission

Please email your homework to ztomasze@hawaii.edu. Send me the source code only (not the compiled .class files). Attach the .java files to the email. I prefer that you do not zip them.

Early and Late Submission

Assignments are due at 11:59pm, uhunix time, on the date due.

I will accept late assignments for up to 1 week after the due date. There will be the following deductions:

• One minute to 10 hours late: -1% per (partial) hour
• 10 hours to two days late: -10%
• Three days to seven days late: -30%
• More than seven days late: Not accepted.

Deductions for lateness are of the total possible score, not your score. (Example: An assignment is due at 11:59pm on the 13th. If you turn it in at 5:04am on the 14th, it is six hours late: -6%. If you only get a grade of 50% on your assignment, your final grade will be 44%, since 50 minus 6 is 44.)

You can resubmit an assignment at any time before the final cut off date. Be warned that I will only look at the last version you submit though. You may want to consider whether the increased quality of the work will outweigh the penalty of resubmitting it late.

Development Platform

You may use the IDE of your choice when writing your code. However, version 1.5.0_06 will be the official version of Java used for this course. This is the version found on uhunix.

Collaboration

Unless stated otherwise, you are expected to write your own code for each assignment. You may discuss the assignment with your peers. You may discuss ideas of how to break the problem down into parts, what methods you should write, and even sketch out pseudo-code of how methods would work. But do not share or collaborate on actual Java code!
