Assignments

NEW: Enjoy your peers green dances, songs and poems here.

Assignment Submission

All assignments must be turned in on the due date given. You are responsible for ensuring that all files are turned in on time, if a program is turned in late there is a penalty detailed online here.

See the late policy for computing projects on this page.


Ambient Submit

When you are done with your project and are confident it is satisfactory, you should submit it electronically using the directions available here. You may submit an assignment as many times as necessary, but only the files included in the last submission will be graded. Thus, you should always submit all your project's files -- even if they have not changed since a previous submission. Note, the official time of submission for your project will be the time of your last submission. An assignment will be considered late if the last submission is late, even if your first submission was on time. You may lose points on your assignment if your final submission is incomplete or late.

Important: After submitting, ALWAYS then do submit history to verify all the necessary files were submitted.

Alternate submit

Best to use ambient to submit your program. If you have trouble using ambient, please let us know (with as many details as to your environment and what the error message is) and then you can also submit using this web interface submit until we can figure out why it is not working for you. THIS ONLY WORKS on the browsers CHROME and INTERNET EXPLORER. (IT does not work on FIREFOX or SAFARI). Be sure to select compsci101, and highlight the assignment name, select all your files you want to submit (don't forget one README.txt file with each assignment) and then last type in your netid and password, then click Submit for Grading. You should always check the history of the submission on this page after submitting.

README

Every assignment submission must include a plain text file, named README.txt (please use all capital letters in naming the file), that includes the following information:

Snarfing Starter Code

Many assignments will include code to get you started. This may consist of completed modules that you will utilize but not modify or modules in which some functions have been completed and others are left for you to fill in. In either case, comments will clearly indicate which sections of the code you may edit and which must not be modified (you can go to these sections directly by using the Tasks view within Eclipse). All starter code may be obtained with the Ambient download tool by following the directions here. The download site for the course is

http://www.cs.duke.edu/courses/compsci101/fall14/snarf/

Within Eclipse, you can create plain text file by choosing File -> New -> Untitled Text File.

Code Style

Finally, note that a small portion of your assignment grade is based on the readability of your program. This readability grade includes style, comments, and the naming of variables and methods. You must include a comment at the top of each source file you modify that includes your name and your netid.
