35. Assignments Assignments are due at 11:59pm on the due date –turn in using Blackboard Homework assignments from textbook –practice for exams Programming assignments –budget 10-12 hours per program design, code, debugging –start early!

36. Submitting Assignments All assignments will be submitted through Blackboard All assignments must include the honor code pledge Submission Errors –I will email you and give a deadline for re-submitting –Don't change your assignment I will look at the file's timestamp to determine if you originally met the deadline –Not checking your email is not an excuse for missing the deadline

37. Late Policy Assignments –Due at 11:59 on their posted due date. –You have five “late days” to spend over the semester –After you’ve used your late days, no late assignment will be accepted –After 11:59pm counts as a day late!!

39. Working in the Lab Before you open jGRASP and start coding: –read the assignment –think about what the assignment is asking for –review lectures and examples on the topic –write (yes, on paper) your plan for completing the assignment (i.e., your algorithm) Talk to me if you’re having trouble at this point

40. Campus File System Andrew File System (AFS) Disk space associated with your Onyen –automatically backed up by UNC AFS in the lab –automatically appears as drive H: when you log in On your personal machine –you can install the AFS Client –won’t see drive H: unless you’re connected to the network (i.e., can access the Internet) More information –see External Links on the course Blackboard site

41. Backup Your Work! Backup your work! You will lose something at some point –you might have to learn the hard way Use your AFS space –use of AFS space is not required, but is recommended Search for “backup” in the Windows help

42. Help! http://help.unc.edu962-HELP For help on general computer problems, including getting AFS enabled on your laptop or at home Also, for free software

43. Honor Policy Don’t cheat! –Every line of code you turn in must be your own. –You can talk to each other about the lecture topics talk about assignment requirements Hand wave assignment solutions (out loud, or on a whiteboard) –You should do your own assignments -- design and code –You should never share code -- it is easy to detect and we will prosecute Pledge Form

44. Send me e-mail Put “COMP 14” in subject line For example: –COMP 14, I’m lost –COMP 14, This course is too easy

45. Homework 0 Hello World –instructions given Friday Due Monday (Sept 5th) at 11:59pm Write java code and turn it in using Blackboard

46. This Week's Recitation Bring your laptop! We will install jGRASP and the SDK We will discuss “Hello World” We will probably finish it during recitation
