Course Home Page: The course home page will include all programming assignments and class handouts. Some class notes and material related to specific topics will also be made available through the home page. Hardcopy of any class handouts will be provided only on request.

Homework and Programming Projects: All homework and programming projects must be done individually. See the course home page for information on what is expected for project submission and directions for electronic submission.

Homework/projects count for 75% of the course grade! There are eight projects, for each project you are required to submit a one page write-up describing the design of the program. Each write-up is worth 5 points toward your homework grade. You can earn additional points (varying from project to project) with your actual implementation. The idea is that you don’t need to do all the projects, but you must think about them all enough to provide a 1 page description of what is needed for an implementation. You can earn no more than 100 points total for your projects (including the writeups), you can earn these points by doing a fair job on lots of projects, or by doing a great job on fewer. Please contact the instructor now if you don’t understand this grading scheme!

Cheating will not be tolerated. Any duplicate or near duplicate project submissions will result in a grade of zero for the project for all students involved. You may discuss projects with other students, but sharing of code in any form is not acceptable (this means that looking at another student's code or showing your code to another student is not permitted). If you need help with a project - send mail to netprog@cs.rpi.edu! Please contact the instructor if there is any part of this policy you do not understand.
