Assignments

• Submission: Problem sets should be submitted in electronic format via Gradescope. Programming assignments will be submitted online by running scripts on Gradescope as well. (Specific instructions will be provided in each assignment.) All assignments are due at 4:00pm on the due dates shown on the course schedule page.
• Collaboration: All students must work individually on problem sets. For programming assignments, students are permitted to partner with one other student and submit a single copy of the pair's work for grading.
• Late days: Each student has 5 free late days to use at his/her discretion for late submissions of problem sets and programming assignments. Each late day represents a 24-hour extension of the deadline, and no more than 3 late days may be used for any one assignment. For students working with a partner on programming assignments, EACH student in the pair must contribute a late day from their free allotment in order to avoid a late penalty. (In some cases, it may be permissible for one of the partners to contribute both late days; contact the instructors to request permission.)
• Late penalties: After a student's free late days are exhausted, any late submissions are penalized at a rate of 1% of total grade per day . No assignment may be handed in more than 3 days late.
• Regrade requests: If you feel that we made a mistake in grading one of your assignments, you can request that the assignment be regraded. Please include a brief written statement describing which portion(s) of the assignment you would like us to review and why. Your assignment will be regraded by a different TA. If you are still not happy with the outcome, you may ask for your assignment to be regraded by an instructor (whose decisions will be final). Note that when you request a regrade, we reserve the right to review your entire assignment -- meaning that it's possible that we would find errors in your work that we missed before.
