Late assignments. You start the semester with a credit of 3 late days. For the purpose of counting late days, a "day" is 24 hours starting at 11:59PM on the assignment's due date. Partial days are rounded up to the next full day. You are free to divide your late days among the take-home assignments (but not the final project) any way you want: submit three assignments 1 day late, submit one assignment 3 days late, etc. After your 3 days are used up, no late submissions will be accepted and you will automatically receive 0 points for each late assignment. Extra late days are not available. Every submitted assignment MUST include the following information:

1. List of collaborators
2. List of references used (online material, course nodes, textbooks, wikipedia, etc.)
3. Number of late days used on this assignment
4. Total number of late days used thus far in the entire semester

• You may discuss ideas and approaches with other students in the class, but:
  • You (or your group) may not share actual code. In other words, the code you write must be entirely your own, which you must write and debug without looking at other people's code. Don't permit others to copy your code.
  • You (or your group) must write up your solutions completely on your own, without looking at other people's write-ups.
  You must also acknowledge clearly in your solutions people with whom you discussed ideas, either for your written solutions or for your code.
• You may not work with people outside this class (but come and talk to us if you have a tutor), or get someone else to do it for you, etc.
• You are welcome to use any textbooks, online sources, blogs, research papers, Wikipedia, etc in your assignment, as long as these are properly cited in any submitted work. Failure to do this is plagiarism and is serious violation of the CAS Academic Conduct Code and basic scientific ethics, and will not be tolerated.
• You are not permitted to collaborate on exams.
