 Labs
Each lab meeting will feature one or more small
programming problems for you to solve
All work must be completed by the end of THAT lab
meeting
The lab TAs will give you a grade for that lab on a scale
of 0–3 (0 = no-show, 3 = mostly/completely correct)
Notes on Correctness
Correctness is BINARY: programs either work correctly
OR they don’t
Assignment grading stresses program correctness (i.e.,
little or no partial credit will be given)
Aim for coding correctness as you go
Grades are based on performance, not perceived effort
(or grade negotiation)
MyProgrammingLab Details
Each problem set contains a number of small exercises
Click all of the disclosure triangles to make sure that
you don’t miss any problems!
You may take as many attempts as you need to solve each
problem; your score is based on whether you get it
correct, and is not affected by the number of tries it took
Don’t overthink things; MPL exercises usually don’t
require very long or complicated solutions
Assignment Submission
Every assignment includes submission instructions
Labs are submitted during that day’s lab meeting
MPL problem sets are submitted automatically through the MPL Web site
In-class quizzes are turned in at the end of lecture
The programming homework and the project are submitted through
Blackboard.
Deadlines are NON-NEGOTIABLE; late or improperly-submitted assignments
will NOT be considered for grading.
 Academic Honesty

All work that you submit MUST be your own

Academic Integrity You can discuss general assignment concepts with

other students (or better yet, the instructor and TAs)

You MAY NOT share code or other answers!

Be careful about seeking help online; there’s a lot of

misinformation and broken code out there...

Academic Honesty Keys to Success

Plan ahead to avoid trouble

All assignments are subject to manual and automated
similarity checking Busy computer labs, computer/Blackboard problems

Start assignments as early as possible — deadlines are

NON-NEGOTIABLE
If you are suspected of cheating, you will be brought up
on academic dishonesty charges Take advantage of office hours

If found guilty, you will receive an ‘F’ for the course Use the textbook and the slides as a reference when
working on assignments
