601.229 (F23): Assignments

Assignments

This page lists the programming assignments for the course.

Some advice about the programming assignments:

Individual assignments must be completed individually.

For Pair assignments, you may work with one partner, or do the assignment individually. Please note that if you chose to work with a partner:

  1. You and your partner must work together to a reasonable degree
  2. You are both responsible for ensuring that the work is completed

If you feel that your partner is not making an adequate contribution on an assignment, you may finish and turn in the assignment assignment individually. You may not use your partner’s lack of contribution as an excuse for not completing the assignment.

Please read the style guidelines so that you know what our coding style expectations are.

Important: All assignments must compile and run on x86-64 Linux. Please see the Resources page for information on setting up an x86-64 Linux development environment. (There are a number of good options.)
