There are weekly on-line problem sets, posted on the website most
Wednesdays, which are due at 6am the following Thursday morning.
Solutions will be available after the due date once you have
submitted the assignment on-line.
Some of the problems will involve writing Python functions, so be
sure to leave time to debug your implementation before the due date.
There is a 10-minute checkoff interview each week which must be
scheduled with your assigned staff member within five days after the
assignment is due (i.e., by the end of Monday).
After grading, your score and any comments from the grader can be
viewed on-line by browsing the pset.
You must complete the interview for each pset as a prerequisite
for passing the course. A missing interview will result in a
failing grade; incompletes will not be given for missing
interviews.
Late policy: Your grade will be multiplied by 0.5 for late
submissions or checkoffs. You can extend the submission deadline,
avoiding the late penalty, for up to two psets during the term --
see your On-lines Grades page. Note that all extensions must be
resolved by the last day of classes.
If you have a note from Student Support Services, please see your
TA. For all other circumstances (interview trips, sporting
events, performances, overwork, etc.) you may use your extensions.
Collaboration policy:
The assignments are intended to help you understand the material and
should be done individually. You're welcome to get help from other
students and the course staff but the work you hand in must be your
own. Copying another person's work or allowing your work to be
copied by others is a serious academic offense and will be treated as
such. We do spot-check your submissions for infractions of the
collaboration policy so please don't tempt fate by submitting
someone else's work as your own; it will save us all a lot of grief.
