CS 1571 Rules for
submitting homework and programs
- Programs and Programming Languages:
Please submit your assignment to courseweb.pitt.edu using the Digital Dropbox,
before the start of class on the due date. Please submit one
file (tarball, zipfile) containing: your report (if it is required), your
source code, the executable file, and a README file. Your README
should include: (1) the programming language that you used for this homework,
(2) instructions about how to compile and run your program, and
(3) a very simple description of your algorithm.
For programming languages, we will accept C/C++, Java, Python, Perl and Matlab.
If you want to use any other language, you must contact the TA
first to see if it is ok.
- Written Homework:
We strongly recommend submitting an electronic version using
the Digital Dropbox. However, if you only have hand-written homework,
you must hand it in to the professor at the beginning of class on
the day it is due. Please be sure to write your name on your homework.
- How to Use the Digital Dropbox:
From the Control Panel, you should first click on "Course Tools", then "Digital Dropbox". You
need to click on "Send File" for the file to be submitted to us. If you
only click on "Add File", we will not be able to access your submission.
- Late Penalty:
The penalty for both written and programming assignments is
10% per day up to 5 days including Saturday,
Sunday, and holidays. Again, assignments are due before the start of
class, and submission time
will be verified using either Blackboard timestamps (if submitted
online) or by Professor Litman (if submitted in class).
