Homework Submission RequirementsCS 3530 Design and Analysis
|
This document outlines the rules you should follow when you submit a programming assignment for grading. These rules will simplify the grader's job by standardizing the form and appearance of submissions. Any of these rules can be overridden by a particular assignment but, if the assignment doesn't say otherwise, follow each of them.
When you are asked to submit a set of files, you must submit them in two forms: electronically and hard copy.
Your print-out should fit on standard 8-1/2"x11" paper printed upright, with no line wrap.
If you would like to save paper, you may print your files "2-up".
Yes, the order of the files matters.
Paper clips, folded corners, and nothing at all are not acceptable.
Electronic submissions will generally be due early on the morning of a class day. Unless told otherwise, you must submit your hardcopy by the beginning of our next class meeting. You may always deliver your print-out to the department office prior to class time.
Document each source file with a header block that includes the file's name, your name, the name of the file's original creator (if not you), and a modification history that lists the date of each change to the file and the change made.
Here's an example for a Racket file:
;; ;; FILE: factorial-aps.rkt ;; AUTHOR: Eugene Wallingford ;; DATE: 2013/01/31 ;; COMMENT: Uses accumulator passing style. ;; ;; MODIFIED: 2013/03/08 by Eugene Wallingford ;; CHANGE: Fixed base case to handle negative arguments ;;
Your block need not look exactly like this, but it should contain the same information.
I do not require you to follow a lot of specific style rules, but I do ask you to follow several basic guidelines to improve the readability of your code.
If you have any questions about style, pleas ask.
