Turn-in Policy

For all assignments, you will submit all the source files (.java) that you created to Webwork. Make sure to practice safe-submission and retrieve your submission after you submit it to make sure all the files you thought you turned in were there.

To clarify the due time for assignments and how this will function with webwork. Programs are due at 6 pm. That is when your code should be submitted and when we will expect it to be there.

The 6-hour grace period until midnight is simply that, a grace period or bonus time. In case something goes wrong with turning your program in right before 6, or if you forget to include a particular file, if your power goes out, etc., then the grace period provides a buffer for such problems.

But the grace period should not be counted on. For instance, if you are turning in your program at one minute before midnight and something goes wrong, we're sorry but that's too bad. The assignment should have been submitted by 6pm. For that matter, if webwork itself goes down from 6pm to midnight, we will not be taking late programs. They should have been submitted by 6.

A good safety net is to always submit your program by 6, and then if you are fortunate enough to get more time and want to do more, then you might get lucky and be able to turn a revision in later. But you should not count on that.

At different times during the semester some students will ask to have late programs accepted for one reason or another. We will simply refer those students to this policy. It may sound cold to some people, but we have found a consistently-administered, reasonable approach like this to be fairest to the class as a whole. If you submit an assignment after midnight of the due date or you forget to include important files, the assignment will be automatically dropped and will count as your one "sick day" as per the 9-out-of-10 policy.

If you turn in your homework at 12:01, it is 6 hours and 1 minute late, not 1 minute late.
